What is the population control?
Population control or more specifically control of the human population is a term that usually concerns various national government programs and politicians aimed at slowing the growth of the country's population. Common methods of controlling populations enacted in different countries may include a limitation of how many children can have, forced sterilization, increased availability of contraceptives and education on methods of contraception. Encouraging emigration and limiting immigration is other ways to slow down its population growth. The reason for attempting to reduce the growth of the population with these methods is usually the fear of current or future overpopulation, which is expected to lead to famine and poverty. Many people believe that overpopulation around the world and in a particular country can lead to environmental and economic problems if available resources can be more people than can be maintained.
on some methods of population control rely on a period of time, such as offering economic incentives to those,who decide to have fewer children, or offer free sterilization or easily obtain contraception. Other government policies may be repressive, including fines or other forms of punishment if the family has more than a permitted number of children. Repressive measures can also force pregnant women to undergo abortion or force men and women to be sterilized. Such involuntary forms of population control are controversial, which many consider to be human rights violations and are not commonly part of the official policy in any country.
Chinese policy One Child is one of the most famous national population control programs. It includes fines for families that have more than one child, especially in urban areas, and economic incentives to those who have only one child. The Chinese government believes it has managed to reduce the growth of the population and helped allow the current economic growth of the country. In India, government policies focusIly to increase the use of contraceptives and public campaigns supported the idea that each family has no more than two children. The growth rate of population in India has fallen, but not as dramatically as in China.
Some scientists argue that the control of the population of the world's population is essential for long -term survival of humanity, economically and ecologically. They believe that humanity will exhaust the sources of the Earth if the global population continues to increase. Other scientists believe that concerns about global overpopulation are overestimated and that population growth may not be harmful to the environment or economy.
