21 Overpopulation debate The ‘pro’ overpopulation view: 3 rd World cities are teeming with crowded, overflowing slums Pressure on resources, leading to local deforestation and pollution As large countries like India and China industrialize, their energy use and pollution emissions will soar The only solution is to reduce population 21

22 Overpopulation debate The ‘anti’ overpopulation view: 3 rd World is urbanizing but has weak property rights rules in expanding cities Pressure on resources arises because of primitive electricity grid. Even small populations can overexploit badly-managed resources As large countries like India and China get wealthy, their energy use will get more efficient and pollution emissions will be better managed Population control measures are disproportionately wiping out girl populations, causing unnecessary suffering and demographic instability 22

23 Next Resources, Scarcity & Growth 23
