Should the government implement programs to reduce population growth rates?
Answers
Human population planning is the practice of intentionally controlling the rate of growth of a human population. Historically, human population planning has been implemented with the goal of increasing the rate of human population growth. However, in the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, concerns about global population growth and its effects on poverty, environmental degradation and political stability led to efforts to reduce human population growth rates. More recently, some countries, such as China, Iran, and Spain, have begun efforts to increase their birth rates once again.
While population planning can involve measures that improve people's lives by giving them greater control of their reproduction, a few programs, most notably the Chinese government's "one-child policy and two-child policy", have resorted to coercive measures.
A limiting factor is any factor that places an upper limit on the size of apopulation. Limiting factors may bebiotic, such as the availability of food, or abiotic, such as access to water. ...Abiotic factors such as temperature, light, and soil can influence a species' ability to survive.
