In order to comprehensively answer the question of how to stabilize the global population growth, population growth itself, must be clearly defined and understood. Population in statistics, according to the Oxford English Dictionary is a totality of objects or individuals under consideration, of which the statistical attributes may be estimated by the study of a sample or samples drawn from it. Growth according to the Oxford English Dictionary is the action, process or manner of growing. Therefore, corresponding to the two definitions, population growth is the increase of the totality of individuals under consideration (which in this case are humans on earth, within countries).

However, attempting to determine a solution requires an analysis of factual statistics which lead to clear understanding of the issue. Moreover, when attempting to discern a solution to this issue, it is easy to mistakenly determine that the countries that have the greatest rate of growth also contribute the most to the growth of the earth’s human population, however, that diagnosis would lead to an inadequate answer. The justification behind why simply looking at this value would not lead to a comprehensive solution, is down to the fact that low population countries, even if growth rate is high, will affect the earth’s overall population less than countries with larger base population levels. This proves that growth rate values cannot be used as the sole value for reducing population levels. Moreover, fertility rates should also be used as supporting data only, as its impact on total human population on earth depends on base population. This same conflict appears with the data from birth rates. The mortality rate and life expectancy rate plays a direct role in what determines the growth rate, as countries with higher mortality rates and lower life expectancies will have a slight decrease in net population growth. What must be used as the main data points therefore, should be the total population growth by country per year. This value would …show more content…
Moreover, according to the United Nations Population Division values, out of the top 50 countries in terms of net population growth per year between the years 2014-2016, 39 of them reside in Asia and Africa. The determining factor to discovering the solution is established through comparing the differences between countries with extremely high population growth values, and countries with low values. The differences between these developing nations with high population growth and developed low population growth nations, (that are factors which affect growth rate) are the poor education, poor healthcare, limited or no sexual education, no access to contraception supplies, and no access to family planning
