What are the problems faced due to population control?

Over population will result in negative environmental issues and when the it living conditions get out of hand due to the increasing number of humans, just like any other species on Earth, we will either:





1.) Have to migrate to a place where living conditions are better (with human population, we really can't migrate anywhere else...)


2.) *Wait on natural selection to help us live with environmental issues....for example: strong lungs to accommodate air pollution


and


3.) We will go extinct.





We are sitting at 6.1 billion people now....it's out of control. We are using up more natural resources at such a fast rate and this is why the century is call, ';Century of the Earth';. We are now just getting more involved...What are the problems faced due to population control?
in China, girl fetuses (or is it feti :) are aborted, because boys are more desirable.


(there is honor in having the family name carried on.)


that has resulted in an imbalance in the male to female ratio.What are the problems faced due to population control?
nothing.........if population is not being controlled, human will lack of fresh clean water and space to live in
i read some notes on this isses from the u.s. government and they are considering in the future, that because we raise or grow so much food, that america will creat an O.F.E.C. or organization for food exporting countrys.if it works for the saudi's and their oil, then it should work for our food exports
it depends if you are talking natural or unnatural pop control. Like a disease like AIDS thats kills off a huge number or what
Calling it population control, for starters. That has ugly connotations to it. Anyway, data shows that there are 20 countries in the world with negative or zero natural population growth. This is historic, and much attention is focused on how their economies adjust to the situation.





For the long term, there are competing hypotheses. The ';too many mouths to feed'; hypothesis states that since a higher proportion of society's output is required for consumption there is less saving, leading to lower investment in capital stock. This reduces economic growth.





The ';Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns'; hypothesis states that more workers in the system dilute the level of capital per worker and hence per capita worker productivity.





As an example, a large population theoretically translates to a reduced average cost of infrastructure. This argument says a dense population makes a good transportation system both


more necessary and more economical.





If we can cap the population and come up with formulas for a healthy, sustainable economy, there will be a generation or two where things shake out, but I believe if we put good minds together we can tough it out. I'm hoping that's the case, as our planet may not be able to handle projected population numbers in the not-so-distant future.
