  • Rate Of India's Population Growth
    1,518 words
    The Population Growth Rate in India For many years concern has been voiced over the seemingly unchecked rate of population growth in India, but the most recent indications are that some success is being achieved in slowing the rate of population growth. The progress which has been achieved to date is still only of a modest nature and should not serve as premature cause for complacency. Moreover, a slowing of the rate of population growth is not incompatible with a dangerous population increase i...

    Living Within Constraints Constraints on the Expansion of the Global Food Supply In the early ages people were hunters, or predators; they had to survive by killing other species.

  • Dramatic Declines In China's Population Growth Rate
    2,231 words
    Our Earth has changed more dramatically in the 20th Century then in any other time period previous.
