A high birth rate and a low death rate will result in a rapid population growth
or population explosion. Experts fear the population will outstrip the avaliable food
suply in the world. It means that the population increases faster than the food
supply.
The question is, how long will the world be able to continue to provide
enough food for its expanding population?. The present food supply can be
increased and can be further expanded throught the use of fertilizers and the
practice of improved farming methods. However, if the population is not slowed, the
food supply will become a very critical problem. Mass starvation will be inescapable.
Even now millions of people in poor countries die each year from
malnutrition. Children lack protein which is badly needed for body building and the
growth of the brains during the first four years of life. The people are shabbily
dressed, illiterate and they live in very bad houses or slums.
Overcrowed countries create problems not only on food but also on housing,
clothing,water, education ,health, etc. How can it be? Housing , educational and
health facilities fall behind with the expanding population. More people means more
water, more garbage and pollution. Many lakes and rivers are already polluted by
industries and air pollution is becoming a serious problem. More transportation,
such as trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles and planes are needed and consequently
more accidents are likely to happen. Crowding also invites the spread of disease and
the need for privacy becomes difficult to satisfy.
How can the problems be evercome? All the problems call for immediate birth
control and family planning all over the world, for they play an important role in the
familly limitation and the prosperity of the world population.
