Problems of Rapid Growth • Shortage of fuel wood- Poorest countries primary fuel source • Use for cooking, boiling water, heat • Growing populations must cut down trees • Loss of vegetation • Reduced availability each year
Problems of Rapid Growth • Impacts on land • Shortage of arable land- Used for growing crops • Urbanization- People moving to cities instead of rural areas • Unsafe water • Places that lack infrastructure • Used for drinking, washing and sewage disposal • Spread diseases
Demographic Diversity • More developed or less developed • Not all countries are progressing through demographic transition stages • Least developed countries • Increasing death rates with high birth rates
Managing Development and Population Growth • Public advertising • Family planning programs • Economic incentives • Legal punishments • U.N.’s International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD)
