Arunachalam, Subbiah. "Human population growth." PMCID: PMC1117552 (2000): 1-5.
This article includes three sub-headings, and these three are essential to note about the
population growth in the current era. These three parts of this research article, the first is human
population growth that talks about the difference and bias of developed and advanced countries
when it comes to supporting the world. I will use this part of the research article to make
assumptions about developed countries or to make a difference between developed and under-
developed countries about their population growth. In the second part, the author says that
population issues are not satisfactory and are going out of control that would affect future
planning and predictions made regarding social and economic developments. I would use this
statement to raise the question, how population growth is an issue, and on what areas of life it
has its impacts. And the third one of the most important is "China's one-child policy" I will use
this research that how the one-child policy is failing to claim that the population growth problem
requires authentic laws and efficient enforcements. In the end, I will suggest some modern
solutions to limit and control population control because the world needs serious concentration
towards this change.

My selected topic for research is "Population Growth" thus, this article above would help
me to arrange the basis for my research article. The article talks about the evolution of the human
population and human life history. This research article marks long juvenile history and, through
figurative analysis, helps me to understand population trends over history. The research article
with the presentation of numerical tests analyses how the population maximizes in history and
still growing at a constant rate. A test is used to conclude that population growth is independent
of density independence. I can use performed tests in this article to my research study and can
pick terms like population is increasing since decades and the rate is independent of population

Diversity. I will also conclusions made in this article that the human population is expanding and
regulated from history and then relate this rate of population growth with the current rate to
analyze the gap.
Peterson, E. Wesley, and F. "The Role of Population in Economic Growth." SAGE
Journals (2017): https://doi.org/10.1177%2F2158244017736094.
This article presents statistical data on how population growth is linked with economic
growth. This research article will help me to state a vital part of my research because population
growth impacts directly on economic growth. The report presents data from the last 200 years
and says how population growth in developing countries negatively affects their economic
growth and low population growth in developed countries affecting their economy. The article
talks about numerous solutions that could solve the problems of both developed and developing
countries like migration can create a balance, but few developed countries banned immigration
towards their country. Population growth is a negative sign that brings many problems like
shortage of resources, inadequate or paralyzed development, and many more. I will use this
article to state the link between economic development and population growth. The article also
states the method of measurement of a country's economic growth and population growth.
“Assessing the Impact of the “One-Child policy” in China: A Synthetic Control
Approach.” PLOS ONE Journal (2019): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?
id=10.1371/journal.pone.0220170
This article presents the analytical data on China’s changing stance from one-child policy
to two-child policy over time and how it had different impacts on overall social and economic
states of different areas in same country. It was claimed that millions of births had been averted
which would have contributed to production of CO2 leading towards climate change and global
warming. China introduced its population control policy in 1973 and it was implemented the
same year to strictly adhere to one-child policy. In 1979 many birth control policies brought a
number of negative consequences such as highly skewed sex ratio, families who had lost their
one child and development of individual behavior. The long term harms of these birth control
policies are yet to be explored which gives important lesson to other countries that stricter
controls are not always effective. In 2015 China finally ended one-child policy to two-child
policy to facilitate population balance.
