Population Pressure• World Population has
doubled in 40 years– Most of increase in
developing countries• 5 billion people
• Poverty and economic insecurity result in population growth– Children are a source of
wealth to the poorhttp://www.sustainablescale.org/images/uploaded/Population/World%20Population%20Growth%20to%202050.JPG

Hope: Demographic Transition• Example: U.S.
History– When U.S. became
