The world population is growing continuously. At present, there are more than 5 billion people on our planet, and this number may reach 7 billion in 2-3 years and 11 billion in 75 years! Experts have been worried about such growth. Where will we find food, water, employment, housing, schools and medical care for everyone?
a new study shows that this situation may change. In the past 1 years, the birth rate in the world has dropped rapidly. Families today are usually smaller than they were a few years ago. This happens in developing countries and industrialized countries.
The researchers said that they found a series of reasons. More men and women wait longer to get married and use contraceptive devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More and more women go to school or go out to work instead of having children. Even more governments, especially in developing China countries, now support family planning to reduce population growth.
China is such a country and has made great progress in reducing population growth. China has slowed down its population growth by about half of that in 197.
Every family in China is now forbidden to have more than one child. It is hoped that the total population growth will reach zero and the total number of neonatal deaths will return to the level of 2.
In some European countries, there have been fewer births than deaths. Experts believe that these countries may face a serious labor shortage in the future. In the future, people may face higher taxes to maintain the increasing number of retirees.
