章節 20: Population
The world's population is still growing. Some people believe that an unstable situation has been created by this increase and that it will lead to a global crisis. Other individuals believe that the world's economy and culture will grow only through a growing population.
This population growth is not constant around the world; the population is experiencing considerable growth, especially in less developed countries, and the continent of Africa is expected to experience the greatest increase. Many people living in these less developed countries also face shortages, such as water, food, heating, cooking fuel and medicines, and Western norms require people to live in substandard living conditions. These problems would escalate with more inhabitants, and supporting these countries could also cause pressure on other countries' resources and economies.
On the other hand, due to a shortage of skilled labor forces, many nations are unable to achieve their economic potential. An increasing population will mean a stronger economy for these countries and, because of that, a better standard of living. Growing populations, enabling economies to grow, can also contribute to rising demand for products. The problem, however, is that the countries in need of labor and growing demand are already the more developed countries and, by immigration and exporting goods, they meet some of these needs.
To conclude, while some parts of the world require larger labor forces in order to grow their economies, an ever-increasing population could potentially contribute to a crisis in countries that are already struggling to provide for their people.
