Consequences of population growth:

Lack of food. The poverty and backwardness. Indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources. Habitat degradation and increased disease. Increasing gap between rich and poor: in more than 6 billion people have only one billion people are living happy, they consume 80% of resources on the earth, 20% are for more than 5 billion people, mainly in developing countries.

1. Poverty:
World today still has 1.2 billion people earning less than one dollar a day (24% world population), 2.8 billion people under 2 dollars / day (51%). 600 million children live in poverty. Global objectives: In the period 1990-2015 to halve the number of people having incomes below one dollar / day. 2. iliterate: 2/3 of the illiterate are women. World still has 113 million children not in school. 3. Health: Each year 11 million children under age 5 die. Each year 15 million children die of preventable causes (trauma, diarrhea, respiratory infections ...) Each year half a million women die of pregnancy = Just a minute a mother dies. 1/3 the number of deaths in developing countries are due to poverty. Each year 3 million people die from HIV / AIDS, of which 0.5 million are children, each day 8,000 people; 10 seconds with one person dead. Worldwide, 37.8 million people are infected, including 2.1 million children under 15 years old. By 2020, about 68 million people will die of AIDS, of which 55 million people in sub-Saharan African region. 4. Inequality: 5. International Economic Relations: Many developing countries have to pay the debt for developing countries more than the total that they earned from exports and development aid. Every minute, the world's commercial sales transactions over 10 million dollars. 70% of sales is due to multi-national companies do. Each cow of the EU are entitled to "benefit" of $ 2 a day. 15 EU countries is around 80 million cattle. UN estimates that unfair trade has done damage to poor countries each

year over 700 billion dollars. => Just to be fair, the world's poor are no longer needed. 6. Burn tragedy: 7. Underemployment is a serious cause of social instability

and environmental destruction. 8. Urbanisation and migration:


Investment planning and urban construction not meeting the requirements of sustainable development. ==> Pollution, lack of infrastructure. Growing exodus ==> positive impact on economic growth + Many negative social and environmental. More than 1 billion people in less developed countries do not have clean water and sanitary facilities, leading to disease and reduced life expectancy

The reason appears the population explotions


The "big difference in the rate of birth and death": the first stage of historical development of human development, birth rates are relatively high due to the maintenance of race and force production needs for development society, while the death rate is relatively high due to limited living conditions, natural disasters, epidemics more ... Thus, at this stage of birth and death rates are relatively balanced. In contrast, during the "population explosion" birth rate continues to be maintained while the death rate tends to decrease due to improved living conditions, coupled with the strong development of science technology, the basic needs of human beings with particular emphasis in the hygiene and health leads to reduced mortality. In addition, human life is gradually improving, in 1975 the average age of the world's population is 21.9 years, up to 2000 is 26.6 years. The process of globalization has brought to the least developed countries access to the scientific and technological progress. These diseases were once considered incurable have found cures, people known widely used drugs vaccines, antibiotics .. On the other hand science and technology also contribute to reducing mortality in infants, providing opportunities for childless couples ... The main factors gave rise to the loss of balance between life and death , leading to a population increase rapidly. The demand for "productive forces": in the less developed countries, where not much science and technology development and application of scientific and very limited production, productive forces are still only in mechanical crafts qualifications, the employer muscles, manual labor is essential, coupled with the energy available in nature to produce so that the population increases, more labor, promote more productive society. So that the world's population keeps growing quickly, to meet economic development needs of individual countries. Outdated concepts: in some countries, especially the oriental countries still have some outdated concepts: childbirth, malesupremacy mentality thought, like a son ... This can be seen very clearly in Vietnam, in ethnic minority areas or rural areas often have ideas to beget as much as possible and necessary to have a son, so that families in these areas which also have more than 3 children. In these countries, the role and status of women is still very low, many places women have not been completely liberated. Contrast can be seen in the developed Western countries, where women fairly and equally with men to participate more in the labor force of society, the birth rate is very low, many countries governments have to devise policies to encourage increased birth rate.

In some poor countries and the developing countries the problem of access, and awareness of the population is very limited, especially in Africa and some Asian countries, poor economy, inadequate food to eat not to mention the problem of access to education of the population and family planning. They lack the knowledge and basic means of preventing pregnancy. Even when the leaders have not fully aware of this problem, for example, eight years ago Mannila mayor had banned the medical center providing modern contraceptive methods such as condoms, birth control pills and sterilization in order to protect the value of life?

Solutions
The population explosions really are raising alarms for all humanity. The question now is "How to prevent and reduce the population growth in the near future ???". This is what the whole of mankind is moving. For areas with strong growth in population as Africa and some Asian countries and some other areas, the measures should be done immediately is to coordinate with international organizations (UNFPA, UNICEFT) in the mobilization of the population program to aware of the harm as well as the downside of rapid population growth, showing the ill effects of population explosion to health, education, food, vices social, environmental pollution and disease leading to increased mortality. Need to direct people's awareness in these countries to the dangers of population explosion directly affect their lives. Widespread propagation effects of overpopulation problem on the mass media. Education and awareness of people through practical slogans. Indicate the benefits and advantages by having fewer children bring. International cooperation - International Conference to discuss and help each other overcome the crisis of overpopulation. Call for joint efforts from all countries in reducing population growth. Develop strategies for reducing population issues to policymakers for specific countries based on their own, and is the basis for projects of international organizations on population issues. Improving access to health services, including family planning.

Further expansion of educational opportunities, improving human understanding, a proven fact that women and men are educated tend to want smaller families. Improvement of children died after birth: just as couples feel that their children about birth, about their ability to survive, the new couples had fewer children available. Investing in women: Expanding opportunities for young women in the matter of raising awareness, educated women will have more choice, more say in family and in society. When the role of women is increased, the status of "male-supremacy mentality" would be overcome by this is one of the causes of childbirth leads to population growth. Education for adolescents ages in all countries, particularly countries with high birth rates are found due to the threat brought a population explosion, referring to the measures on the safe sex and prevent sexual problems too early at this age. In the world today, at the age of abortion is a minor problem in most countries.
