Topic: Population - page 3. (Read 850 times)

Of other o we populated countries can cop China to make sure that they regulate their population, i think the issue of over population would be okay and things will keep moving as normal  normal. There are so countries where citizens give birth to children anyhow without being regulated. This have to be controlled so that over population would not cause severe hunger in the world.
Each country should endeavor to work on their population so that the problem of over population would be amended.

I'm even surprised that someone here is in support of  child birth control or population control. If you're in support of population control that means your obviously not in support of freedom, all this control systems that are developed are merely means of having full control over the country.

Governments of countries like China wants to own the lives of their citizens in there hands and as such there have implemented all this new regulations on child birth.
In India the population growth is nice and I believe that it's going to have a good effect in the economy of the country no matter what people thinks about it, in less than no time India's will beging to country the world decision with there population and when that begins to happen countries with low population will begin to feel like the India's are dragging the world power.

To OP,  when there is a good resources management policy there is absolutely need to worry about the well being of the citizens because it's surely going to better with them. So thinking that the resource will not reach the people who need it is not right. From here I use to even wish my country becomes the most populated in the would and even the biggest to contain us all hence we will making influences in the world decision.

The population of each country is Perculiar to them. What may be termed 'over population' in country A may be seen as a normal population or even under-population in country B. This solely depends on the country's land mass and resources available. This goes to explain the fact that population can not be evenly distributed between countries all over the world. It is left for any country who thinks it is suffering from over population or under population to bring up policies to control its population. No country is competing with the other in terms of population size, countries know their abilities and the ideal population size needed for the country's growth and development. If these facts are neglected, then they will have to deal with more economic and political issues.

China has been trying to regulate their population for as long as I know.

The infamous one child policy has been implemented by China back then in order to maintain a specific amount of people living in the country. Too much population is definitely not a good thing and can hinder economic growth.

The problem about China is, they have slave labor, and some of it is child slave labor. People who benefit from products made in China, are people who are supporting slavery.

as long as they are able to manage thier population in the right way such that poverty doesn't struck and and resources gets to those that needs it, population isn't much of a big problem. And again, it's deficult to regulate global population such that thier is some level of equality amongst different nations of the world, don't know if it's just a biased reasoning from my end but in reality, every nation has the way to view increase in the population of thier citizens and while to some, an increase in population shows dominance and showcases how good thier military and workforce can become, others might not necessarily look at it from that angle.

Moderating on how many childrens couples should have should necessarily be a common solution to the high rise in the population of people in the world but the big issue is that after putting such law that kind of restrict a family from having more than a certain number of children and they end up having more than the expected number, what then is going to be the action of the government towards such people becomes a serious issue to be looked into.

I'm not familiar with India's economy, but it's ok if China's economy is increasing, because they're an industrialized country, they need the manpower to boost their productions, which will make their economy to be among the best in the world. Where I have a problem with population explosion is in impoverished countries, where there's high unemployment rate and their governments depends on developed countries for aids to feed their citizens and provide basic amenities. These underdeveloped countries should practice birth control to reduce their population, so there'll be less dependants and destitutes.

The life nature has been made too natural that nothing should be in excessive moderation has always been the best. I really concur to all your statement of over population as not a good one as it's the course of many uncontrollable crime rate in any society facing over population.

All if effects if over population has been listed here in your post as it speak allot in my mind. What I can only add as advantage of over population which can't even override it disadvantages is area if war and defense, it's very difficult to wipe out nation with a very high population, also high population help to harness all levels of resources found in any nation though it may be illegally harness since government may find it difficult to control the crime increase of over population .

A dairy farmer cares about his cows. After all, he makes money from the milk they supply. But you are right. Government only cares about money and power. Benefits for the people are only an incidental side effect.

Overpopulation is a blessing to most Governments because this helps them to exploit the people more through the illegal taxes. What China and the like of Japan realized is that their populations grow rates have dwindled, mostly due to the earlier policies and high infertility rates. This also means the countries productivity power will drop in an attempt to compete with other superpowers for supremacy. This is the reason China had decided to make a complete U turn on it's earlier policies.

I don't think they care about food, shelter, education, medical care to the people 

About one-third of the world's population lives in India and China. In some countries, population growth is being controlled by government laws, where the government sets a maximum number of births, and in those countries where population control is being attempted, those countries are showing a decline in population growth. In countries where there are no specific rules regarding childbirth, the population is growing steadily. Anyway I don't think any country will accept population distribution to control population in future. However, in order to control the population, the population should be controlled by giving birth to two or one child through the official legal process in the respective countries.

Overpopulation is a threat to any country.  Because overpopulation is never good for a country.  When the population increases, the country's corruption, anti-politics, terrorism and various problems increase.  And most of the problems remain hidden from the government.  Moreover, when the population of a country increases, it becomes very difficult to provide food, shelter, education, medical care to the people of that country and no one gets equal services.  Moreover, more births result in more malnourished children and premature deaths of mothers.  Everything needs to be within limits, nothing is too good.

The leaders of the world want to concentrate the people in the cities, so they can milk them like a farmer milks cattle.

There is plenty of room on Earth. Consider seasteading - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=seasteading&ia=web.

Look at what happened a few short years ago just outside of Thailand - https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3006682/thailand-wants-us-killed-bitcoin-couple-who-lived-ocean.

Elwar - is he still active in the forum here? Look at this page to see what Elwar said in the past about what he might be doing now - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53866550.

Ocean Builders website is listed there, but I don't think that they are having much success these days. Elwar was building off bitcoins he had saved up. Then the btc price dropped.

My point is, the oceans of the world cover about 70% of the surface of the Earth. And they could support a whole lot of people, except that people would rather complain about population than move out there. And governments agree with the people because they don't want to lose their services. People are slaves.



EDIT: Ocean Builders is still at it. Their newer website is - https://oceanbuilders.com/#emf.

I am not surprised when the world government almost uses the covid 19 to destroy the world population which was not that effective.
There are many ways we can control over population through the control of birth rate and it is one of the things China is trying to meet up with so that over population would not make the country to run into over population which could be a big problem to the entire country. The movement of people from one region to the other can also increase the population of people in a particular region.

I believe it is critical to be open-minded and investigate other approaches to these difficulties. I admire your notion of increasing the nutritional value of life in highly populated nations. This might include expanding availability of healthcare, education, and various additional resources, as well as lowering poverty and strengthening infrastructure. This might make individuals happier with their life and less inclined to wish to leave. Furthermore, if transportation technology improves, it may become simpler and more economical to travel great distances fast, thus alleviating population pressure in particular locations. Additionally, people may be able to work virtually from any part of the globe.

a country with a population will definitely not be free from health and social problems, so it is necessary to have clear rules made by the government in each country and infrastructure development ^{(the population density in China and India)} can boost population equity because there are also many residents who do not want to live in villages because the infrastructure is villages which are bad whereas big cities have good infrastructure.

Apart from China, India also does strange things like this, there was an uproar where many women aborted their wombs when they found out that it was a girl, i know that in many countries there are still many who adhere to this kind of ideology and this violates human rights.

This is absurd and a total abuse to human right. Why are they worried now and wants to boost up the population. It means that a time will come when two men will get married to one woman because the females will not be enough for those that wants to get married,which will bring great decline in their population. Before taking some drastic actions,we should also consider the aftermath of our actions.

 Any country that opens boarder for immigrants, it means that they are short of labour force and believe that they can get what they need from the neighboring countries. If not for this purpose, no country will accept immigrants into their country due to racism, insecurity and fear of the unknown.

Why it should be evenly distributed?
If you think that population is a problem then you wouldn't want your country to be densely populated. It's not a race actually, India and China are facing a big problem, and other countries just need to manage their own population.

My fear is that there will not be enough resources for people in highly populated countries -> become poor -> and then self-destruct or start wagering war to get neighboring resources.

I don't know how to find a way to distribute the population all over the world evenly.? I think this is impossible because most countries will not accept it.

The only possible way is through continuous immigration that causes demographic change but in the very long term.

But on the other hand, immigration also has disadvantages because most countries do not receive immigrants except those who have high educational qualifications or manual skills, and this will lead to the emergence of very advanced societies versus very backward societies.

however, the decline in the Chinese population that is predicted to occur by 2100 will not experience a drastic decline if we look at their current population.

based on the article above, research on the decline of the Chinese population has been studied since 1961, so it must be that the policy involving only 1 child has begun to be loosened by the Chinese government.
