What are the world’s most populated countries? What are the causes of the increasing population growth there? What are the world’s least populated places? In what way do different factors (natural disasters, economic development, etc.) lead to the decrease in the population growth in these regions?

The growing population Some scientists predict that human population will grow to 9 or 10 billion by 2050. The real problem, however, is not the number of people, but the resources they need to live. As most people are meat eaters, we will need more and more meat. Meat and milk production is not cheap as it is closely connected with the health of soils — the source of food for animals. 95 % of the food we eat comes from soil. It means that human health, in some way, depends on soil health. In the 21st century, we have to look for the ways to save our soils from pollution and degradation. If we do not, then our organisms, just like soils, will get polluted.
Questions:
1. Farmers use fertilizers to make soil grow more food. How is it influencing our health?
2. What does the word “polluted” in the last line mean? How to deal with the growing population In the 18 th century, people believed in progress and thought that society would be developing in a better way. However, the British scientist Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would bring out the problem of limited resources. The problem is that people start families and produce babies faster than soils can produce food. The growing population, as Malthus said, would lead to the growing need for food and other resources to support human life. One possible solution offered by Thomas Malthus was to control the growth of population. According to Malthus, a person should not marry and have babies unless they have enough money to be able to support their family. However, the world’s overpopulation is not just one problem; it needs more than one solution. Humans need to reduce consumption, reduce and improve the influence of technologies on the environment — to slow or stop the population growth.
Questions:
1. Do you agree with Thomas Malthus’ views on population growth? What solutions do different countries have to reach in order to control the world’s population growth?
2. Read the information about Hans Rosling. Why, according to Dr Rosling, “the only way of really getting world population growth to stop is to continue to improve child survival to 90 percent”?
