number of factors that can contribute to the growth of a population and these trends can be seen in a number of species. It is generally believed‚ from an ecological perspective‚ that populations will display either an exponential of logistic growth rate. If optimal environments are consistently maintained with no biotic or abiotic limiting factors (excess food‚ excess space availability‚ optimum climactic environment‚ no predation‚ etc) then a population will grow in an exponential direction.

I. Introduction The Philippine population in the early 1990s continued to grow at a rapid‚ although somewhat reduced rate from that which had prevailed in the preceding decades. In 1990 the Philippine population was more than 66 million‚ up from 48 million in 1980. This figure represents an annual growth rate of 2.5 percent‚ down from 2.6 percent in 1980 and from more than 3 percent in the 1960s. Even at the lower growth rate‚ the Philippine population will increase to an estimated 77 million

Statistics (2009)‚ the estimated population of Melbourne SD is 3.9 million at June 2008‚ an increase of 74‚600 people or 2.0% since June 2007. Melbourne SD experienced the largest growth amongst all Australian capital city SDs for the year to June 2008. And the Government of Victoria believes that there will be a one million growth of population in the next 30 years (Victoria Department of Sustainability and Environment‚ 2005). Due to the large number growth of population‚ how to plan Melbourne as one

Consequences of Population Growth The effects of population growth on economic development differ between the developed and developing countries. In the developed countries‚ population growth has enhanced the growth of such economies because they are wealthy‚ have abundant capital and scarcity of labour. O n the contrary the consequences of rapid population growth on the development of LDCs are not the same. Most developing countries are poor‚ capital scarce and labour abundant; and therefore population growth

The current estimate of the worldwide human population at this moment is 7‚241‚862‚395. For every person who dies during the next three days‚ somewhere around the world a baby will be born who will‚ physically speaking‚ replace that death. With that being said there are 108 deaths per minutes‚ 155‚911 deaths per day and 56‚907‚606 per year. After all of those replacement births take place‚ 684‚000 additional births will occur. Every Minute of the day there are 267 births so that means every day

1994‚ the population of Pakistan was estimated to be 126 million‚ making it the ninth most populous country in the world. Its land area‚ however‚ ranks thirty-second among nations. Thus Pakistan has about 2 percent of the world’s population living on less than 0.7 percent of the world’s land. The population growth rate is among the world’s highest‚ officially estimated at 3.1 percent per year‚ but privately thought to be closer to 3.3 percent per year by many planners involved in population programs

Why there is a need to increase population in Singapore? As‚ we all know‚ Singapore is becoming an ageing population soon. So‚ a shrinking and ageing population means younger workforce‚ and a less vibrant and innovative economy. With slower business activity and employment opportunities‚ it will become more difficult to match the higher aspirations of a better educated and mobile Singaporean population. This may hollow out our population and workforce and worsen our ratio of younger to older

Negative Population Growth Expansion is useless and problematic without a contributing factor such as productivity. The initiative for making good use out of what the population uses for its needs can be described as minimalistic. Growth should entail an equal amount of output to show motivation or models for future generations to build on. We as people need to shape our society to show accomplishment and consistent growth of our economy and community. But without such knowledge for the newcomers
