Population!!!!!!!

What trends allow you to feel optimistic about the future in terms of population?

I don t think that there is any trends that can allow me to feel optimistic about the future in terms of population. If the Earths population have increased from 2 billion to 6 billion since 1800, it s quite normal with all the human developments but if the earth keeps growing as predicted to pass from 6,3 billion today to 9 by the half of the century this will become the most important issue with no solutions for it.

What trends could lead to a more pessimistic outcome?

The trends that could lead to a more pessimistic outcome are the limited resources we have that will not be enough for us now and for the coming generations. A growing population will lead to an increase of poverty, famine, and penuries of jobs. It is not just limited to this only but the world will face the worst civil war that ever a human been could imagine.

What do you think should be done in the industrial world in terms of population? In the emerging nations?

The industrial world should emerge enough young population, so they will not face a problem of an old population. Because in the future adults in the age of 40 and 50 will reach the retire age and there will be no new generation to occupy their stands. The government will have difficulties paying the retirements because there will be less productive activities so less income for the government.
