| | Population |
 | | The human population of the planet is estimated to now have passed 6 billion people. | | | The State of the World, 1999 Report from the Worldwatch Institute suggests that the global economy could be seriously affected by environmental problems, such as the lack of access to enough resources to meet growing population demands. | | | This section of the globalissues.org web site attempts to look at and introduce some of these issues. |

| | This is the number the earth could support if all of the plant growth on earth were used to support the human population, and if we were not also limited by waste buildup and non-renewable resources. | | | Planet Earth 2025: A look into the future world of 8 billion humans by Don Hinrichsen and John Rowley. | | | Partly because of these rising death rates, the U.N. revised its estimate for world population in 2025 from 9.4 to 8.9 billion. |

| | Human Overpopulation -- Ehrlich and Daily |
| | Basic human rights in the social sphere (such as freedom from racism, sexism, religious persecution, and gross economic inequity) should be secure from problems generated by the existence of too many people. | | | Numerous claims have been made that Earth's carrying capacity is much higher than today's population size. | | | This will depend critically on the technologies involved in the future as reserves of fossil fuels, especially petroleum, are depleted. |

| | Human Population Growth |
| | Almost 20% of India's population were children — 15 years or less in age — who had yet to begin reproduction. | | | If not, how large a human population can live decently on this planet? | | | In fact, they will probably reach it sooner because by 2004 the world TFR has dropped to 2.8. |

| | However, we should also be clear that those who seek to use the findings of population genetics to support movements and ideas which are hostile to fundamental human rights will no doubt do so. | | | Understandably they can see a danger that researchers in these projects will target the most "interesting specimens" because they are a fading population group. | | | Although the keeping of genetic information on Third World populations in central repositories of the west may be politically objectionable, the idea of maintaining repositories in a country under a repressive regime is certainly not preferable. |

| | With a majority of the planet's societies in this phase of dramatic population growth rates, some claim that we may be approaching the ecological limits of our species' numbers. | | | It projects how the latter group will decline from comprising 20.6% of the total population in 1985 (which was its peak) to 14.1% in 2050. | | | "The State of World Population 1998: The New Generations" speaks of the world's 578 million people over age 60 and the 1.05 billion between the ages of 15 and 24. |

| | Some observers of human societies believe that the concept of carrying capacity also applies to human population, and that unchecked population growth can result in a " Malthusian catastrophe ". | | | Population may also mean the process of populating a geographic area, as by procreation or immigration. | | | This free online book shows how new technologies can make that dream come true. |

| | The Human Population is Increasing Too Rapidly |
| | Currently, the world's population is doubling every 50 years. | | | In fact, from 2000 B.C. to 1 A.D., the world's population rose from 108 million to 138 million (only 0.01% growth rate/year). | | | This is a completely ridiculous argument, based upon faulty assumptions and faulty data. |

| | Carnivore Extinction Risk Determined More By Biology Than Human Population Density, Says Study |
| | Carnivores around the world are more at risk of extinction due to their own intrinsic biological attributes than from an increasing human population with whom they share their space, say scientists in a study published last week. | | | Writing in the July issue of PLoS Biology, the authors conclude that there is no room for complacency about the security of species simply because they are not currently considered globally threatened. | | | They found that while a high human population density is associated with a high extinction risk, its importance fell as biological traits were accounted for. |
