The other reason is unwanted births in U.S. about “400,000 per year.” including teenage birth has 28% between 1990 and 2002. In my opinion, the government policies need to reflect a specific plan such as family planning and birth control.
I found it very interesting from this article that the U.S. population in 2016 added more than "2.4 million" people and immigrants are one part of what made up the U.S. population growth. What makes population growth in the U.S.? I think most of the immigrants want to move to the U.S. is a land of opportunity, developed country, and freedom of speech.
Does population growth create jobs or do jobs lead population growth?
I do not think population growth create jobs. The rapid growth of population will increase unemployment around the world especially in the U.S. Living in overpopulation, everyone goes look for a jobs, but compete for a limited number jobs.
I find this interesting in that the fact about every 17 sec we increase in population by 1. I found this very shocking. I do have a question, does your figures include the immigrants or is it based on US Censous? The more workers normally means more can be made and produced which is something you mentioned but what products and fields are they working in Iowa? If this continues will it reach a point of diminishing returns?
ReplyDeletePopulation growth influences each and every aspect of the earth, whether it is biological or nonbiological. I think your topic is very interesting and relevant to this modern world. We keep talking about population growth and limited natural vegetation sources on the earth. You have specifically targeted the population growth in the United States. I think United States can accommodate more population than any of the other countries in the world. This is due to the fact that, this country has been run by the government in the most systematic ways. One of the reason why the population of this country is increasing is, the the Diversity Visa. The United States opens a lottery program every year by which at least 50,000 people from different part of the world can come to this country legally as a permanent resident. Moreover US is 'the country of opportunity' and most of the people want to come here. In fact US is considered as "first world". On the other hand the job opportunities, standard of living, and almost everything tops any other country in the world. But the thing is, everything has a certain threshold value. So is with US too. I thing we are about to reach this threshold value now in term of population. Thus, It is time to take this issue seriously.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like your topic and would like to have information about the recent population growth rate in the US and the current strategies that are implemented to control the population in the country in your upcoming posts. Thank you and good luck!!!
It is quite interesting how our population growth is much faster than that of most other nations in the world. One thing that I think you could have added in your post here is the strain on resources on communities. Not just jobs and education, but food, water and available space as well. While we are a large nation, larger than most other countries by far, our resources are not limited. And I think it would help your argument if you include the strain on those other resources as well.
