Essays on Population Growth

According to the statistics of 2014, the population of Clallam County is estimated at 72,715 (Vleming). It is of particular importance for the economy and further development of the region to increase its population, not only in quantity but also in ethnic diversity. Relevant data demonstrates that the population of the county rose only to 1.8 percent (Vleming) during the four-year period whereas the populace on the county in general expanded to 5.0 percent (Vleming) over the same period. Speaking about the biggest city, Port Angeles, its rate of population growth reached only 1.1 percent after April 2010 ( ...

Population dynamics is a central area of study in most humanities. Demographic trends seem to indicate that the global population would increase in the future. However, some critics argue that this may not be the case. Is the world population going to increase or decrease in the future? A close analysis of the present trends and the future projections indicate that the demographic trends would decline significantly. The first major reason why the population would decrease is the birth rate. Since the industrial revolution, the world population has been growing steadily. However, according to Friedman (2015), the population explosion ...

Background

China is the world’s greatest country when it comes to population. It is located in the South Eastern parts of Asia being surrounded by other countries such as Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Japan, North and South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is the largest Asian country by land area. The most recent surveys show that China has approximately 1.4 billion (World Bank n.p.). Note that the current world population is approximate 7 billion, which means that for approximately 6 people, 1 of them is a Chinese. Interestingly, this startlingly huge population size could have been bigger ...

Some of them being innocent while some are the criminals. Also, there may be one criminal involved in an incidence. In Forensic Science, DNA is used to differentiate the individuals so that the criminal among them can be known. Additionally, DNA analysis is performed in the paternity testing. It enables the determination of a parent or parents of a child. DNA analysis is now being regarded as scientific evidence ("Application of forensic ...

The population of the world has been steadily increasing for millennia. Yet, the 19th century saw exponential growth that led to the current global population of almost 8 billion people. Such a rapid and massive population boost prompts worries about its effects on the environment, the economy, and society. In this essay, we will discuss the difficulties brought on by the global population increase along with possible solutions.

When Will the World Population Reach 8 Billion?

It had taken all of human history until the end of the 18th century for the world population to reach 1 billion people. Then, the growth ...

The demographic transition model and how it was developed by the demographers

Demographic transition is a model describing change in population over a particular period and it is based on two demographic characteristics; birth rates and death rates. The model was developed by Warren Thomson, an American demographer, after observing experimented changes of various countries’ birth rates and death rates over the last two decades (Wilson, 2007).

Four phases of demographic transition model

The four phases of demographic transition are; pre-transition, early transition, late transition, and post transition. During the pre-transition phase, population growth is described to be low. Crude death rates are higher than crude birth rates and so population is declining. During the early transition ...

Introduction

Urban sprawl has turned out to be a controversial issue in recent times due to the rate at which green spaces are disappearing in most of the cities, especially in the United States. Nnaemeka-Okeke (2016) describes urban sprawl as the expansion of a community devoid of concern for the environmental impact. In other words, urban sprawl is the uncontrolled expansion of the metropolitan areas. This phenomenon primarily results in the extinction of green spaces and a variety of environmental consequences. Banai and DePriest (2014) maintain that urban sprawl is considered a cause of the climate change, with environmental effects ...

Diets with the least environmental impact - Carbon is the main component of the building blocks of living organisms which are carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. The composition of carbon in the three biomolecules is relatively comparable, but carbohydrates have a higher composition of oxygen occupying about 50% of the carbohydrate molecule while proteins have higher concentrations of nitrogen due to the amino acid building blocks. The animal kingdom has the highest concentration of proteins as their building blocks while the plant kingdom is basically made up of carbohydrates. There are three main diets in the world with many other ...

A general move to broaden the security agenda occurred during the 1980s by expanding the focus from the security of the state or the nation to an alternative focus on the security of the people, or the global collective. The human security can be affected by economic welfare, environmental concerns, cultural identity, political rights, and military issues. In recent years, environmental degradation is increasingly being considered as a security problem by not just the environmental activists but also the security establishment as they have become more responsive to the idea. In late 1989, the journal of the International Institute ...

The Solow Model

For long, the concept of economic change has been interesting economists. The reasons why some of the countries are poor while others are rich or even the understanding of why some nations grow faster than others has constantly disturbed the understanding of most economists. The theory of economic growth has been put upfront in explaining the growth indices of different nations. In its place, the theory of economic growth aims at explaining whether poor countries can grow faster than their rich counterparts, catch up with them and close their income gaps, that is converge. Elaborated by Trevor Swan and ...

Essay & Discussion

The Politics of Food, Nutrition and the Environment The family farm system has been suggested to be a solution to the increasing demand for food, which is expected to grow extensively by 2050 (AGree, 2014).Such projections are based on population growth which then inform the food needs on a global scale(AGree, 2014). Agricultural resources required to meet this demand are heavily reliant on policy and economic growth. Concerns of the negative consequences of the current agricultural system which relies heavily on technology and methods of production which harm our health and environment(Schlosser, 2012), has led to ...

The Middle East is a vast region with many countries which are differently endowed with both natural and human capita l resources. The state institution and development of societal status have also evolved differently based on the past experiences of colonial and pre-colonial eras. The Middle East region is known to have suffered economic backwardness dating back to the seventeenth century. The state of economic conditions and social developments of the Middle East countries is quite similar to those of North Africa region countries particularly Egypt. The two regions were highly affected by the ruling of the Ottoman Empire ...

Man, noted to be the most intellectual living being walking the planet. Top of the food chain and creator of renowned inventions.

As civilization becomes more and more prominent throughout the world, the growth of the population is also becoming prominent and maybe even a little over-bearing. It’s ...

Overpopulation is the most serious problem faced by humans today. Population continues to expand at an alarming rate forcing depletion of natural resources. The demand for food, shelter and water causes havoc on the natural biodiversity of the Earth. Many species of plant and animals are eradicated and the freshwater resources are drained beyond recovery. The existing resources are not sufficient to sustain the increasing population. The increase in the demand for consumption of goods has led to a change in the cultivation pattern resulting in biological imbalance. Changes in the size of population affect all issues which range ...

INDIA: THE WORLD’S MOST POPULOUS COUNTRY

Introduction India, along with China, is considered as two of the most populous countries in the world. With the rapid growth of population in India, economists suggest: “by 2022, India's population will draw even with that of China, at 1.4 billion people.” Forecasts claim that by 2030, there will be an estimated 1.5 billion people in India, and this will further grow by 1.7 billion by 2050. On the other hand, China’s population will remain as it is until 2030 and will continue to decline as the years move forward. Despite the effort to slow down population growth, ...

Introduction

Ricardo and Marx have developed an economic approach based on the labor-value. Both authors’ economic theory depends on the labor-added value. As known, the price determination in the markets is the most important mechanism defined in the science of economics. The price is an agreement between the agents in the economy, and the price conveys a lot of information to the agents in the economy. For instance, by using the cross-price demand elasticity statistics, or the income demand elasticity comparison, one agent can see how the price competition is developing, and how successful the market is contributing to the ...

Recent years have seen significant changes in the economies of both Mexico and Chile. Given this, it can be useful to examine the current economic situation in Mexico and Chile, comparing the two. While many people in the United States might tend to think of these two nations as being identical in nature because of the fact that they have Hispanic cultures and the Spanish language, there are in fact many differences. For example, Mexico since the late 1990s has been able to benefit from the existence of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). This has allowed it ...

1) Population growth and overpopulation is one of the major problems of every developing country. The factors that influence population growth are: a) Women getting married at early ages lead to a high birth rate. b) Provision of health benefits to children, women and the elderly have contributed to decreased mortality rate, and thus increased birth rate. c) Lack of family planning contributes to increased birth greatly. According to census, The United States population as on June 11, 2016 is 323,747,258 with one birth in every eight seconds, one death in every seconds and one international migrant ...

Two of the most remarkable stories of growth in the past 3 decades has been the growht of China and India's economies, two countries. Their populations, when added together, make up one-third of the total population of the world. While India and China's development paths have been different, there are many similarities to their approaches. Both countries developed their private sector, deregulated laws, liberalized prices and opened their countries to foreign direct investment (Reddy 3). However, China and India have relied on different economic drivers for growth. China has focused its efforts on manufacturing and exporting goods, while much ...

In Orlando Patterson’s The Children Of Sisyphus, the biggest problem is poverty, destitution, and poor living conditions. The situation is so bad that people eat from the dump site, and there is no access to clean water, food or good housing. Patterson highlights the plight of the slum dwellers in the downtown Jamaica, Sisyphus, showing the inevitability that the residents find themselves in, with grinding poverty that reduces their humanness to the level of scavengers. To Patterson, the slum dwellers represent a collapse of government institutions and the threat of discrimination on race. Noteworthy, it is the racism ...

The Canadian labor market is abundant with skilled and qualified workers, and hence, the country’s labor market is becoming increasingly competitive. In this context, it is necessary for the government to ensure that all these candidates are employed and getting paid fairly. However, it is identified that Canada’s unemployment rate soared high during the recent recession and it has not yet recovered completely. Since Canada is a well-developed country, it is particularly important for the Canadian federal government to analyze the short-term as well as long-term costs of high unemployment rate to the country’s economy. This ...

Throughout history, China has remained at the forefront of innovative development and has remained active, in terms of driving capitalist attitudes on a worldwide scale. Whilst this remains, China is becoming under increasing pressures in terms of economic growth and how the country ‘positions’ within the global market. Issues in terms of the economic shifts from rural to urban lifestyles and industrialisation have had profound effects on the country’s demographic, furthermore, concerns with population legislation and the growth of neighbouring economic entities such as Hong Kong and Singapore have positioned China within the complex of the ‘Middle Kingdom’ ...

The different regions across the globe exhibit a great level of distinction in factors of production for which there is a huge difference in the costs of production within these regions, hence, the difference in economic growth and development across these regions. The understanding of the economic, spatial change is linked to the overall processes of transformation of capitalist markets and institutions, and productions systems due to the recognition of the contribution of various locations of economic activity. The regional economic performance has been pegged on a number of factors across the economy. First, is the use of knowledge ...

RAILWAY EXPANSION AND THE AMERICAN ECONOMY, 1860-1890

The late nineteenth century in America was marked with the progress of industrialization. During this time, the country experienced changes and developments that would have a lasting impact on various aspects of life as new industries began to produce an urban working class. One of the most important developments from this time was the railroad, which allowed for major expansion across the country. From 1860 to 1890, railroad networks were built across the United States, connecting the country from coast to coast in ways that had never been imagined before. The railroad was arguably the most important development that ...

Question 1.

Under demographic transition theory, countries transition from high death and high birth rates to low death and low birth rates, as the country’s economy develops. The transition of death and birth rates is divided into four stages:

Pre-Industrial Stage

Societies have high death and birth rates in the first stage of pre-industrial stage. As both death and birth rates are high, population growth is slow and majority of the population is young as despite several births, few manage to live for long. In the pre-industrial society, children tend to operate as an economic benefit for the families, which reinforces the ...

What will make a young man who has just completed higher education to migrate from the rural set up to an urban one? This movement of inhabitancy from one geographical area to another either on temporary or permanent basis is caused by different factors that are either personal or occupational among others. Soon after independence, the third world states migration from rural areas to urban centers has been on the increase citing difference in economic opportunities and natural conditions, for example, the climate, soils or relief. Thus people migrate as their response to this. The high and better level ...

Introduction

The state of California has been making major budgetary cuts across all sectors of government. However, these reductions have not been applied equally to the different sectors. Regarding discretionary spending, a couple of areas have had different treatment especially during times of recession. When the monetary aid for higher education was condensed by the state of California, it decided to increase state prisons’ funding to a great extent. Even though the mentioned governmental areas are not directly linked, the ever enormously increasing financing of prisons contrasted to the constantly decreasing education funding has raised concern among citizens. This paper ...

Reducing the population growth rate is possible. The World Watch Institute highlighted that with universal access to safe and effective contraceptives for both sexes, the pregnancies would reduce significantly, and consequently the population. Besides, expansion access of secondary education would also lead to population decrease because of delayed marriage and increased knowledge on the use of contraceptives. Moreover, offering age-appropriate sex education could help reduce the rate of population growth because the children would adopt birth controls at early stages or make informed choices. It follows that adopting methods of reducing the population would lead to a decrease in ...

Over the last few decades, the level of economic inequality has significantly increased, especially in the OECD countries (John 7). Essentially, the top earning population has acquired a large share of the overall gains in income. Fundamentally, there has been an increasing consensus that major assessment on the level of economic performance should not be based solely on income growth, but the distribution of income. Such assessments are highly concerned with the level of both economic and income inequality. Economic inequality measurements have numerous dimensions, and economists view it in terms of monetary assessments related to incomes for individual ...

In the late nineteenth century, America went through a time of progress that was later dubbed the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age is known as a time of economic prosperity, industrial advancement, and population growth. However, the era included many dark times that are masked under the guise of progress and prosperity. The economy took a downward spiral, discrimination was rampant, and corrupt politicians worked with wealthy businessmen to concentrate the country’s wealth in a small population of people. Despite the tough circumstances that were caused by a boom in population growth, immigrants remained a large portion of ...

Human population has experienced explosive growth over the recent decades. Population dynamics is a multifaceted aspect that encompasses not only population size, growth and density, but also the peculiarities of urbanization and migration taking into account such variables as age and sex (de Sherbinin et al., 2007). Lam, (2011) points out that demographic change is closely related to the three aspects, namely urbanization, fertility decline, and investment in children. “The growth of the world population goes hand in hand with global urbanisation: while around the year 1950 less than 30% of people lived in the cities, this proportion has ...

Global issue: Food insecurity

Today, the world suffers from numerous issues; from the security of life and property to the security of food and water. With the gradual but persistent rise in global temperatures, food and water resources in certain parts of the world are getting scarce and hard to conserve. This is problematic as with the passage of time; these resources are bound to get scarcer and lesser in amount. Moreover, poverty is another factor which makes it difficult for masses to get hold of nutritious and abundant food resources. When the factors of money and lack of resources are combined together, ...

Although there are various measures of the economic growth rates of countries, the GDP stands out to be most efficient, and widely used one. It incorporates four aspects i.e. the consumption level, government policy, investments, and net exports. In this respect, it is quite useful in approximating the economic growth rate of any nation. This paper focuses on the GDP of the USA, Japan, Ethiopia, and China for the last 20 years. Using data from the Bureau of Statistics, the GDP of the USA grew on average by 2.33% since 1996. However, the fluctuation on the GDP was significant ...

The human population has grown tremendously worldwide since time immemorial. Originally, there was one ancestor from whom the present 7 billion human populations grew (Miller & Spoolman, 2015). The original human ancestors lived in one particular part of the globe. However, as the population increased and the need for more resources and better living conditions emerged, the people spread to different parts of the earth. The origin of man is not well known yet. However, many theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. Most researchers believe that Homo sapiens originated from Africa from where its descendants moved to the ...

The last century saw growth of human population that was majorly because of improved health and various scientific innovations. Currently, the world population stands at 7 billion people. This is a great number that sustainable and effective economic activity must be pursued to help meet the demand for food. Generally, it is agreed that with increased in good economic outlooks of different countries, the general population will rise. There are different countries that have proved this trend right especially countries within Asia such as China and ...

There are two types of growth which are the linear growth and the exponential growth. The linear growth is an increase in quantity with a constant rate. The exponential growth refers to the rate of increase which is proportional to the current value or quantity. According to Thomas Malthus, natural resources have a linear growth while the population has an exponential growth. He also argues that the population growth will exceed the rate of increase of resources which could lead to catastrophic effects in the future. He also argued that population control is necessary in order to avoid catastrophic ...

Food security is a situation whereby every person in region or nation has access to enough and nutritious food. A situation that most governments in the developing countries should work on to achieve development goals. Several cases of famine have been reported to cause deaths due to the insufficiency of food, inadequate shelter and lack of proper medical care (Singer, 234). As individuals, it is very hard to make a significant contribution to donations directed towards saving lives which are a moral activity. Singer argues that it is morally upright to help people from starving through gifts and giving ...

Question No. 1

Tragedy of the commons, as envisioned by Hardin, is the infinite freedom of the people to use or make use of the finite free resources of the world. The unchecked and wanton use by the people of these free resources results in a tragedy, according to Hardin, because eventually such use will overwhelm the resources themselves. A simple, but graphic example used by the author to illustrate this point is a pasture that is open to all for use. If one or several persons use this pasture to graze their animals this would not pose harm to the pasture, ...
