Key Objectives 1.Perceptions of carrying capacity:cultural and ecological 2.Population and economic growth 3.Cultural values and population growth 4.Governmental influences on population 5.Current efforts to slow population growth

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

Types of hunger Famine Chronic 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

Debt in Developing Countries World Bank The world bank provides low-interest loans, interest free credit & grants to developing nations for education, health, infrastructure, communications… International Monetary Fund (IMF) The IMF is charged with safeguarding the stability of the international monetary system.

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 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?
