Human population growth policies and practice

Did you know, scientists project the human population to increase to more then 9 billion people by 2050, some other scientists project it could even reach highs of 10.5 billion. Immigration and emigration affect the population size in certain regions. Back in the year1950s, females had more kids then today. The average number was around 6 or so in a family, this helped the parents out on the farms and they could help take care of their parents the older they got.

Now people are having fewer kids, with the average being one to two kids. I think this is because our economy is doing poorly, less jobs and not enough money to support more then one or two. In the years to come I believe those numbers might jump, or go back up with all the government programs we have today that pay for food, insurance, and much more.

According to sex ratio of humans, for every 100 females born, about 106 males are born; males are slightly more likely to die during any given year of life. I think this is because men have to do more physical labor then most women that sit at a desk and work. With better sanitation, reliable food supplies, and better technology people are living a lot longer then they use to. Another reason for our population growth is we have been able to save many lives, like babies because our technology has improved over the past 50 or so years.

In China, girls are not wanted, they have set up a law, that people our punished for having a second child, which includes fines, loss of land grants, food, loans, farming supplies, benefits, jobs and discharge from the communist party. The Chinese can only have one child and it has to be a boy, this has lowered population on the girls side but on the other hand has made things worse, nearly 800,000 abortions, 4,700 maternal deaths and 77,000 infant and children’s death, but think about what happens when the boys get older, who will they have other kids with? What do you think this does to their population?

Did you know: the whole world could fit in the state of Texas? With a house, a yard and mailbox, but this doesn’t include, roads, jobs, different plants, sanitation, trash, cars, garages, and much more.
