The Way Forward On 13 September 1994 in Cairo, after nine days of intense debate, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) adopted a wide-ranging 20-year action plan that delegates and commentators hailed as opening a “new era in population”. Underpinned by a commitment to human rights and gender equality, the Cairo agreement called on countries to ensure reproductive health and rights for all as a critical contribution to sustainable development and the fight against poverty, which the ICPD saw as inseparable from addressing population concerns. “You have crafted a Programme of Action for the next 20 years, which starts from the reality of the world we live in, and shows us a path to a better reality,” Dr. Nafis Sadik, UNFPA Executive Director and Secretary-General of the conference, told delegates at the closing session. “The Programme contains highly specific goals and recommendations in the mutually reinforcing areas of infant and maternal mortality, education, and reproductive health and family planning, but its effect will be far widerranging than that. This Programme of Action has the potential to the change the world.” Ten years into the new era, it is time to take stock:

Virtually all the growth will be in the developing world, according to a report by the UN Population Division. By contrast, the population of developed countries will remain almost static at 1.2 billion, the report adds. It says India will overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2030 - five years earlier than previously expected. It is going to be a strain on the world Haina Zlotnik, UN Population Division chief The figures in the revised report are based on national censuses, population surveys and review of trends. In 2002, the UN Population Division had estimated a population in 2050 of 8.9 billion.

It says that nations such as Afghanistan, Chad and East Timor will see their numbers going up three-fold.

About Zero Population Growth's new name Population Connection After a year of careful review and consideration, the Board of Directors of Zero Population Growth on February 2, 2002 voted unanimously to change the name of our organization to Population Connection, effective May 1, 2002. As board members, we volunteer our time, energy, and support because we share with ZPG’s 70,000 members a deep and abiding concern about the critical need for population stabilization. We want people everywhere to join our cause so that, together, we can make the world better, safer, and less-crowded. We are changing our name, but our mission remains exactly the same. There is a clear connection between population growth and virtually every challenge facing our planet. As the leading grassroots population organization, ZPG has been the “population connection” for 34 years. By changing our name to Population Connection, we hope to rally even more support for the kind of education and action that can - and must - change the world.

64. Math In Daily Life -- Population Growth This same basic idea applies to the world s population. death rates stayedthe same across the years in all parts of the world, population growth could http://www.learner.org/exhibits/dailymath/population.html

I n the last few centuries, the number of people living on Earth has increased many times over. By the year 2000, there will be 10 times more people on Earth than there were 300 years ago. How can population grow so fast? Think of a family tree. At the top are 2 parents, and beneath them the children they had. Listed beneath those children are the children they had, and so on and so on, down through each generation. As long as the family members continue to reproduce, the family tree continues to increase in size, getting larger with each passing generation. This same basic idea applies to the world's population. Exponential growth Population grows in the same way that money grows when it's left to compound interest in a bank. With money, growth comes through accumulating interest upon interest. The interest payments you accumulate eventually earn interest, increasing your money. With population growth, new members of the population eventually produce other new members of the population. The population increases exponentially as time passes. WORLD POPULATION Year Population A crucial difference between money and population is that money can increase without limits while population can't. Any population of living creatures is constrained by the availability of food, water, land, or other important resources. Once those resources are depleted, a population won't continue to grow exponentially. It will plateau, or even decline, as a result of disease or malnutrition. Unlike calculating interest, calculating population growth is an imprecise business.

Home IMPACT OF POPULATION GROWTH ON FOOD SUPPLIES AND ENVIRONMENT by David Pimentel, Xuewen Huang, Ana Cordova, and Marcia Pimentel Presented at AAAS Annual Meeting, Baltimore, MD, 9 February 1996 Submitted for publication to Population and Development Review , New York, NY, USA As the world population continues to grow geometrically, great pressure is being placed on arable land, water, energy, and biological resources to provide an adequate supply of food while maintaining the integrity of our ecosystem. According to the World Bank and the United Nations, from 1 to 2 billion humans are now malnourished, indicating a combination of insufficient food, low incomes, and inadequate distribution of food. This is the largest number of hungry humans ever recorded in history. In China about 80 million are now malnourished and hungry. Based on current rates of increase, the world population is projected to double from roughly 6 billion to more than 12 billion in less than 50 years (Pimentel et al., 1994). As the world population expands, the food problem will become increasingly severe, conceivably with the numbers of malnourished reaching 3 billion. Based on their evaluations of available natural resources, scientists of the Royal Society and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences have issued a joint statement reinforcing the concern about the growing imbalance between the world's population and the resources that support human lives (RS and NAS, 1992).

70. World Population Since Creation growth of world population during various epochs of earth history can be calculatedby a wellknown formula. In this formula Pn is the population after n http://www.ldolphin.org/popul.html

Revised April 10, 1998. See References 1 and 5. Updated, March 31, 2004. World Population Since Creation by Lambert Dolphin The Antediluvian World Genesis 4 and 5 records the history of the Antediluvian world in a highly condensed account. From the genealogical list, which is probably complete without any gaps, the time between Adam and the flood of Noah-which occurred when the latter was 600 years old-can be calculated to be almost exactly 1656 years. If one takes Barry Setterfield's chronology as more accurate, the time period from Adam to the Flood was 2256 years. During this time period, man was much healthier than he is now; the gene pool, less corrupted by subsequent harmful mutations and other defects; and the environment on earth, was much more favorable to good health and long life, as can be seen by the recorded pre-flood longevities. While classical evolutionary theory presupposes earth's early atmosphere was a reducing atmosphere (devoid of Oxygen) newer scientific evidence confirms what Bible scholars had previously suspected: the earth's ancient atmosphere probably contained a larger fraction of oxygen than it does at present. It is even possible that photosynthesis in plant life was more efficient than it is now. A warmer average climate in ancient times would also mean a higher rate of oxygen generation by the more numerous plant life. At age 65, Enoch became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah, a name which means "when he dies it (the flood) shall come." Enoch went on to walk with God another 300 years and was taken up ("translated") into heaven by God without dying. Methuselah survived to age 969, the oldest man who ever lived. True to prediction, the flood came the year Methuselah died.

72. Population Growth about this rate of growth as well as the size of the world s population.If this growth rate remains constant, then world population will double every http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/environment/wrjp365p.html

Population Growth by Wm. Robert Johnston last updated 2001 Agricultural: Pre-industrial societies have little medical technology and poor sanitation. As a result, they have high birth rates and high death rates. Since population growth results from how much births outpace deaths, there is little population growth. (This was the world before 1800.) Developing: When industrialization begins, technology is introduced that substantially reduces the death rate. However, the birth rate changes little. This results in rapid population growth. (The U.S. was in this phase in the 1800s, and most third world countries are in this phase now.) Industrialized: Once everyone in the society has increased access to resources, people tend to choose to have smaller families. As a result, the birth rate drops closer to the death rate. Population growth is low again (and in some cases is zero). (Western Europe has fully transistioned to this phase.) "Overpopulation" is a problem that has been misidentified and misdefined. The term has no scientific definition or clear meaning. The problems typically associated with overpopulation (hungry families, squalid and overcrowded living conditions) are more properly understood as issues of poverty. The point is: famine and disease are consequences of poverty (limited access to resources), not high population density. Japan has a far higher population density that Ethiopia, but the greater wealth of Japan grants it a far higher standard of living.

Home Population Implosion, Graying of the Population, Population Reduction, and Negative Population Growth Graying of the population Population Reduction The world's population 'boom' is not a result of an increase in birth rates, but rather a decrease in death rates. Today more infants and children are surviving into adulthood, while adults are living longer. Since the earth's resources are finite, population must stop growing somehow. Fortunately, birth rates are declining, because no one wants to increase death rates. However, population momentum (the 'boom' of young people who are beginning their child-bearing years), and the agonizing slowness with which birth rates are coming down, means the population is still increasing. In the meantime, modern medicine is allowing people to live even longer - causing quite a dilemna: will humankind reach a point where having children is to be discouraged, even to the point of one child or no children families? What will the world be like with fewer and fewer children and more and more elderly people? Some people do not realize that the earth's resources are finite. Or they believe that God or technology will take care of it. They propose a giant pyramid scheme to continue to produce young people who would take care of the old people - leaving the question of who is going to take care of the young people when they get old?

Big baby boom POSTED 8 OCT 1999 At the end of a record century for population growth comes another milestone. According to the United Nations, world population will reach six billion on Oct. 12. Only 12 years ago, we were five billion strong. The population of the planet has doubled in just 39 years. Ever since Robert Thomas Malthus published his anonymous Essay on the Principle of Population in 1798, people have been disputing his contention: that population grows exponentially, but food supplies grow arithmetically. (In English, this means that the graph of population curves upward, while the graph of food supply is straight.) Eventually, Malthus said, shortages of food would cause chaos and famine. The pronouncement was fearsome enough to earn economics this splendid moniker: the " dismal science ." But it wasn't just economists who rebelled. Karl Marx also denounced Malthus. The Bible tasked humans to "be fruitful and multiply," and could be the only commandment about which we can uniformly say, "Been there, done that." Today, India and China have as many people as were alive in 1937.

Yet the supply of freshwater is finite and threatened by pollution. To avoid a crisis, many countries must conserve water, pollute less, manage supply and demand, and slow population growth. Caught between growing demand for freshwater on one hand and limited and increasingly polluted water supplies on the other, many developing countries face difficult choices. Populations continue to grow rapidly. Yet there is no more water on earth now than there was 2,000 years ago, when the population was less than 3% of its current size. Rising demands for water for irrigated agriculture, domestic (municipal) consumption, and industry are forcing stiff competition over the allocation of scarce water resources among both areas and types of use.

Resources Fact Sheets Current Publications Publications Library ... Links Six Billion and Beyond...Why World Population Is Still Growing GROWTH WILL CONTINUE... The population explosion is not over. Some analysts claim population growth is no longer cause for concern, based on the trend towards smaller families and very low fertility rates in some countries. But while growth rates are slowing from their all-time high, human numbers are still increasing. World population is currently growing by about 1.3 percent a year, down from a peak of a little over 2 percent in the late 1960s. Thus, total population size is steadily increasing: even at the current lower rate of growth, about 78 million people will be added in 1999 many more than the 53 million people added in 1958 when the term "population explosion" was first used. World population will continue growing.

From the time of the Roman Empire to the colonization of America, the world population grew from about a quarter billion to a half billion persons. By the mid-19th cent., however, it had grown to about one billion, and by 1930 it had risen to 2 billion; the United Nations estimates the world population will peak at 10 billion in 2200. In world terms, the population is growing at about 1.2% annually (compared with 0.1% in ancient times and a rate of 1.75% as recently as the 1990s) in population. Although a 1.2% growth rate may appear small, it annually adds some 77 million persons to the world's population, with nearly all of this growth taking place in less developed nations.
