This figure is deceptively precise, however, since there is no complete database on the world's population, and humans are constantly being born (at the rate of about 3 per second) and dying. However, it is clear that the world's population continues to grow, and at rates that are unprecedented prior to the 20th century By some estimates, there are now one billion young people in the world between the ages of 15 and 24.

The United Nations Population Fund designated October 12 as the approximate day on which world population reached six billion.

Lutus Message Page These equations can be used to calculate population growth rates. The variables used are: pp (present population) = The population at the beginning of the calculation. fp (future population) = The population after a certain number of years (yrs). pct (percentage) = The percentage increase in population per period, usually per year. yrs (years) = The number of years required to effect a certain growth in population. These equations are similar to Financial Calculations , except they are simpler because they represent a steady population increase and don't try to take into account "interest accrual" and "payments" as separate variables. An Example: The world's population in mid-1993 was 5.5 billion people. At the present growth rate of 1.7%, how long will it take to double the population of the world? The equation for this case is: This equation shows that it will take 41 years to double the world's population. If this prediction is borne out, there will be 11 billion people on Earth in 2034.

Big baby boom POSTED 8 OCT 1999 At the end of a record century for population growth comes another milestone. According to the United Nations, world population will reach six billion on Oct. 12. Only 12 years ago, we were five billion strong. The population of the planet has doubled in just 39 years. Ever since Robert Thomas Malthus published his anonymous Essay on the Principle of Population in 1798, people have been disputing his contention: that population grows exponentially, but food supplies grow arithmetically. (In English, this means that the graph of population curves upward, while the graph of food supply is straight.) Eventually, Malthus said, shortages of food would cause chaos and famine. The pronouncement was fearsome enough to earn economics this splendid moniker: the " dismal science ." But it wasn't just economists who rebelled. Karl Marx also denounced Malthus. The Bible tasked humans to "be fruitful and multiply," and could be the only commandment about which we can uniformly say, "Been there, done that." Today, India and China have as many people as were alive in 1937.

By Teddy Byrd, Ben Elgin, Dan Moran, and Jascha Swisher This page is the product of a Biology project for Harvey Mudd College, a small science and engineering school in Southern California. Our interest in human population growth was sparked by the numerous articles we uncovered on the subject as well as our innate interest in the future of humanity. We hope you find the following information useful and accessible. Enjoy! Current Population Before perusing this page we would like to ask that you just take a look at the world's current population as projected by the U.S. Census Bureau. Think about what the population was 350 years ago: about 500 million. What sorts of things could cause such a great increase? And if this continues, how high could the population rise? Can the Earth support these levels of population? What's Going on Now? Currently the world's popultion is increasing at an almost exponential rate. This has lead to a heightened interest in the feilds of demographics and population dynamics; we have compiled some relevant statistics for your perusal.

Sports September 1999 World Population to Reach 6 Billion People In a newly released report, the U.N. Population Fund has determined that in mid-October the world population will reach 6 billion. This century alone has seen a 400% increase in the number of people inhabiting the planet Earth, from 1.5 billion to 6 billion. The U.N. study projects that by the year 2050, 8.9 billion people will populate Earth. Population growth is not evenly distributed: growth has slowed in the industrialized areas of Europe, North America, and Japan. It continues to soar in sub-Saharan Africa, and South and West Asia. While China remains the world's most populous nation with 1.5 billion people, according to the U.N. report India is projected to surpass China in less than 50 years. Experts debate whether Earth's natural resources can continue to support the booming population. Other factors, such as longer life expectancy and declining fertility, may also affect future growth rates.

This work builds on a script written by Kevin McCann, now of Bellanet , for the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa, Canada. How are the numbers calculated? World population data are extrapolated from statistics obtained from the United Nations Population Division. The clock indicates an increase of about three people a second by tracking both births and deaths. Data on productive land are extrapolated from statistics produced by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. The clock shows that one hectare is lost every 7.67 seconds. Productive land is made up of arable land, pasture land, and forest. top World Population From now until the middle of the 21st century, in only fifty years, the world's population will increase by 50% from 6 billion at the end of 1999 to close to 9 billion in 2050.

91. Population Growth What this means is that economic development will inevitably shift a society (and the world) to low population growth. In fact, the http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/environment/wrjp365p.html

Population Growth by Wm. Robert Johnston last updated 2001 Agricultural: Pre-industrial societies have little medical technology and poor sanitation. As a result, they have high birth rates and high death rates. Since population growth results from how much births outpace deaths, there is little population growth. (This was the world before 1800.) Developing: When industrialization begins, technology is introduced that substantially reduces the death rate. However, the birth rate changes little. This results in rapid population growth. (The U.S. was in this phase in the 1800s, and most third world countries are in this phase now.) Industrialized: Once everyone in the society has increased access to resources, people tend to choose to have smaller families. As a result, the birth rate drops closer to the death rate. Population growth is low again (and in some cases is zero). (Western Europe has fully transistioned to this phase.) "Overpopulation" is a problem that has been misidentified and misdefined. The term has no scientific definition or clear meaning. The problems typically associated with overpopulation (hungry families, squalid and overcrowded living conditions) are more properly understood as issues of poverty. The point is: famine and disease are consequences of poverty (limited access to resources), not high population density. Japan has a far higher population density that Ethiopia, but the greater wealth of Japan grants it a far higher standard of living.

World Energy Production, Population Growth, And the Road to the Olduvai Gorge Richard C. Duncan Institute on Energy and Man As published in Population and Environment, May-June 2001, v. 22, n. 5. The Olduvai theory is defined by the ratio of world energy production and population. It states that the life expectancy of Industrial Civilization is less than or equal to 100 years: 1930-2030. After more than a century of strong growth — energy production per capita peaked in 1979. The Olduvai theory explains the 1979 peak and the subsequent decline. Moreover, it says that energy production per capita will fall to its 1930 value by 2030, thus giving Industrial Civilization a lifetime of less than or equal to 100 years. This analysis predicts that the collapse will be strongly correlated with an 'epidemic' of permanent blackouts of high-voltage electric power networks — worldwide. KEY WORDS: Olduvai theory; energy; population; industrial civilization; overshoot; electricity; collapse. This subject was presented to the Pardee Keynote Symposia, Geological Society of America, Summit 2000 in Reno, Nevada on November 13, 2000 — more than two months before the rolling blackouts of electricity began in California.

Yet the supply of freshwater is finite and threatened by pollution. To avoid a crisis, many countries must conserve water, pollute less, manage supply and demand, and slow population growth. Caught between growing demand for freshwater on one hand and limited and increasingly polluted water supplies on the other, many developing countries face difficult choices. Populations continue to grow rapidly. Yet there is no more water on earth now than there was 2,000 years ago, when the population was less than 3% of its current size. Rising demands for water for irrigated agriculture, domestic (municipal) consumption, and industry are forcing stiff competition over the allocation of scarce water resources among both areas and types of use.

97. E.6 What Is The Population Myth? Anarchist point of view The idea that population growth is the key cause of ecological problems is extremely commonplace.

E.6 What is the population myth? The idea that population growth is the key cause of ecological problems is extremely commonplace. Even radical green groups like Earth First! promoted it. It is, however, a gross distortion of the truth. Capitalism is the main cause of both overpopulation and the ecological crisis. Firstly, we should point out that all the "doomsday" prophets of the "population bomb" have been proved wrong time and time again. The dire predictions of Thomas Malthus, the originator of the population myth, have not come true, yet neo-Malthusians continue to mouth his reactionary ideas. In fact Malthus invented his "law of population" in response to the anarchist William Godwin, as an attempt to "prove" that social stratification, and so the status quo, was a "law of nature" and that poverty was the fault of the poor themselves, not the fault of an unjust and authoritarian socio-economic system (in contrast, and in direct contradiction to his population "theory," as an economist Malthus was worried about the danger of over-production within a capitalist economy. No mention of "excess" population then, which indicates well the ideological nature of his over-population theory). The utility of the population myth as a justification for the inhuman miseries inflicted upon the British people by "its" ruling class of aristocrats and industrialists was the only reason why it was given the time of day. Similarly today, its utility to the ruling class ensures that it keeps surfacing every so often, until forced to disappear again once the actual facts of the case are raised. That the population myth, like "genetic" justifications for race-, class- and gender-based oppression, keeps appearing over and over again, even after extensive evidence has disproved it, indicates its usefulness to the ideological guardians of the establishment.

U.S. Current Population World www.census.gov Why Population Matters The current world population is over 6 billion and increases at a rate of 76,570,430 people every year. Since 1950, U.S. population has nearly doubled - growing from 151 million to over 293 million today. If present trends continue, our population will exceed 400 million by the year 2050. More people means more pollution, more sprawl, less green space, and even more demands on the earth's already overburdened resources. NPG is the leader in the movement for a sound population policy and advocates a smaller and truly sustainable population through voluntary incentives for smaller families and reduced immigration levels.
