Population and Quality of Life Environmental degradation Hunger Persistent poverty Economic stagnation Urban deterioration Health issues Primary problems with overpopulation:

Population and Quality of Life Population and World Hunger

Population and Quality of Life Different proposed strategies for reducing hunger: 1) Strictly control population growth 2) Stimulate economic development 3) Provide better equitability of resources

Population and Quality of Life Economic Effects of Continued Population Growth Competing hypotheses: Hyp 1: Rapid population growth  ↑economic development + ↑technological innovation. Why would they think this? Hyp 2: Rapid population growth does the opposite.

Population and Quality of Life Economic Effects of Continued Population Growth Debt in Developing Countries

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate Why is Total Fertility Typically High? Gender defined roles High fertility to compensate for high mortality Work expectations of children Religious beliefs

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate The Social and Economic Status of Women Gender inequity is common worldwide Percent illiteracy of men and women in select developing countries, 2002

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate The Social and Economic Status of Women Gender inequity is common worldwide Younger age of marriage  ↑ fertility rates

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate The Social and Economic Status of Women Gender inequity is common worldwide Younger age of marriage  ↑ fertility rates Higher level of education  ↓ fertility rates

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate Family Planning Services

Reducing the Total Fertility Rate Family Planning Services Selected Birth Control Methods Oral contraceptives Implants IUD Spermicides Condom, male Rhythm

Government Policies and Fertility China’s Controversial Family Planning Policy One child per family Main problems with policy: Eroded personal freedom Disproportionate number of males born

Government Policies and Fertility India’s Severe Population Pressure Early efforts centered on compulsory sterilization. (which was a complete failure) Currently attempting to integrate economic development and family planning. (total fertility rates have dropped)

Government Policies and Fertility Mexico’s Young Age Structure Strong positive population growth momentum due to high % young. Government measures (e.g., education reform) have reduced the fertility rate.

Government Policies and Fertility The Population Challenge in Nigeria Most populous African country with high a fertility rate. Birth control use very low (8%). Government attempting to improve health care and encourage marrying later.

Government Policies and Fertility Population Concerns in Europe: Opposite of most areas — fertility rate very low. Pronatalists predict overwhelmed pension programs and loss of economic growth. Opponents predict technological innovations will spur economic growth and the elderly will be asset to society.

Government Policies and Fertility Case-in-Point: The Global Summit on Population and Development Focused on: Reproductive rights Empowerment of women Reproductive health

Achieving Population Stabilization Discuss some of the ethical issues associated with overpopulation: Is it ethical to have more than 2 children? Is it ethical to consume to much in the way of material possessions? Is it ethical to try to influence a couple’s decision about family size?
