Population growth is a large contributor to environmental depletion, as there is a larger effects of food sources, and more pollution created. It is clear that populations and negative impacts on the environment are increasing at record rates, but for what reasons are populations multiplying so rapidly, especially in countries with low fertility rates? Although population growth is a phenomenon occurring globally, this essay will address this question by focusing in on a smaller scale, within…

last decade, Europe’s population has been declining quickly. European countries ' birth rates are much lower than other countries across the world. This statistic is evident especially in Spain where for every baby born, more than two people die. And the ratio seems to be moving closer to 3:1. Spain currently has one of the lowest fertility rates in Europe. In Italy the retired population is soaring, Germany has the lowest birthrate in the world, and Britain’s population grew at a faster rate…

Wildlife Population Data: After observing populations of two different species of birds, we were able to come to conclusions using data of their populations over a time interval of 43 years. By looking at the year vs. population, one can see general trends of both the bald eagle data as well as the data from pheasants both tend to generally increase. We inserted the data from Table 9 into individual graphs of the population of pheasants and bald eagle breeding pairs. When looking at Figure 15,…

China 's efforts to control population growth has led to many issues. The government 's One Child Policy was the cause of the many issues within the population such as decline in birth rates, unequal sex ratios, gender imbalance, and population growth. In China’s efforts to control population growth, sex selective abortion cases have increased. Consider the 2011 murder of a seven month old baby. In Beijing, a woman was seven months pregnant with her second child when several people entered her…

Though still a modestly sized population, the rate of Vancouver’s population growth has greatly surpassed Canada’s national population growth of 5.9%. Vancouver’s population growth has increased by 9.5% from 2006 to 2011, a big factor being immigrants. There is an aging population, which takes place when the median age of a certain region increases substantially due to declining birth rates or rising life expectancy. It can be predicted that this population growth will allow for more…

United States (“The 2030 Problem,” 2013). According to the 2012 National Projections, the population is expected to become much older. By 2030, more than 20 percent of U.S. residents are projected to be aged 65 and over, compared with 13 percent in 2010 and 9.8 percent in 1970 (Colby & Ortman, 2014). According to World Health Organization (2011), the reason for the rapid increase in the elderly population is due to improvements in life expectancy and a change in the leading cause of death…

Canada’s 2016 census result because we were studying about Canada’s population and I thought this would be interesting as I can apply what I learnt in class to this real-life event. The article I chose explains five key points from the latest census data. First, Canada has more big cities and each city is getting bigger. In 2016, there are a total of 35 census metropolitan areas, meaning that it must have a minimum total population of 100,000 people with 50,000 or more living in the core. The…

Vulnerable Population I believe the vulnerable population will continue to grow. The United States population is expected to continue to grow at 0.9% per year. It is estimated there will be 400 million people by 2039 and over 400 million by 2050. The growth is mostly going to be from many of immigrants coming into the United States. By that time the United States would see a growth in Hispanic and Asian population triple. Additionally, the population will also be older than what we see today. It…

Canada’s aging population Michaela 9D Canada’s aging population is causing a big problem for the economy right now and further into the future. In Canada there are more people over the age of 64 then under the age of 15, casing the younger population to pay for the pensions of the elderly. By the time current 14 year olds turn 22 they will be paying into the economy like every other working person in Canada. But, by the time that happens every two people working will be…
