Population
Today in class we talked about how quickly the population is increasing. Every twelve years as of 1999, a billion new people are born. This means by 2023, the population will be 8 billion! China realized how quickly their population was rising and implemented the ZPG plan. ZPG stands for Zero Population Growth. This plan limits an urban family to 1 child. Families living in rural areas are allowed to have more than one in order to do work on farms and help out around the house. This has leveled out the population a ton. If other countries did this, I believe we would not have to worry about overpopulation.
