The population of the world has been
increasing faster and faster . In 10,000
B.C., there were probably only 10 million
people. In A.D. 1, there were 300 million. It
took 1,750 years for the world population
to reach 650 million. In 1850, only one
hundred years later the population reach
the figure had more than double to reach
2,510 million. In 2000, the world’s
population was about 6.6 billion, and by
2015 it is expected to be over 7 billion.

•

Does the Earth has enough resources to
support this many people? Different
scientists give different answers to this
question. Some say that there are enough
resources to support 8 billion people.
Others say that we must limit population
growth because our resources are limited.
Only 10 percent of the Earth’s land can be
used for farming and another 20 percent
for raising animals.There is a limit to the
water we can use. There are also limits to
the amounts of petroleum,iron, silver, gold,
and other metals.

•
Research has shown that the average
Third World woman has more children
than she wants. Among the women who
do not think they Have too many children,
half of them do not want to have any
more. However, although millions of
women want to limit the size of their
families, they know of no safe way to
have fewer children.

•
Safe birth- control methods for family
planning are not available to them. It is
time governments and international
organizations did some thing to help them

so that the world population growth can
start to decrease instead of continuing to
increase.
