CHAPTER 7- HUMAN POPULATION ISSUES

At the end of the chapter, the students should be able to: 1. Define demography and population explosion; 2. Explain the current population situation in the world and the Philippines; 3. Discuss the impacts of population growth on the environment; and 4. Enumerate the various approaches to slow down human population growth. I. Current Human Population Situation: Demography is the interdisciplinary study of human populations. Demography deals with social characteristics of the population and their development through time. Population explosion is the term used to describe the rapid and dramatic rise in world population that has occurred over the last few hundred years. The Population Division of the United Nations (UN) predicts that the world’s population will increase from 6.23 billion people in 2000 to 9.3 billion people in 2050. The UN estimates that the population will stabilize at more than 11 billion in 2200. Other experts predict that numbers will continue to rise into the foreseeable future, to as many as 19 billion people by the year 2200.
