Population

Q1


Personnally, I feel optimistic about the trend of the declination of fertility rate, not to mention the low fertility rate in some developed countries such as Canada, and the ones already with a stablized population like Australia, Japan and Western Europe, and also the decreasing trend in Russia. The control of population growth in many countries also seems optimistic by cutting fertility rate. In the video showed that many women in Japan choose not to give birth and prefer to be single, despite the fact that it's extremely expensive to raise a family of good qulity and difficult to balance between work and children since women in Japan have to work as well. The population growth though has many negative effects has also its positive side like younger generations make the country looks younger and compell human development.



Q2

The global aging population will be one of the pessimistic result in the future centuries because of fertility rate decreasing trend. It seems a controvertial problem that if the population increase significantly in the next 25years, there would be lack of resources in general, particularly water and petroleum, and also less jobs for too many people.

Q3

What I think should be done in the industrial areas is to stablize population growth as much as possible and to maintain or modify our ecosystem and biodiversity environment. Developed countries should help developing and poor countries for the world development as a whole. And education is important especially in poor undeveloped areas as a way to spread information on health and sexual knowledge to prevent or overcome the problem of Aids in African countries and to cut birth rate. Also, it's a good way to make people to be aware of and use carefully the limited resources on our planet.
