If we talk about the world population some five centuries ago, we were merely one billion people in total. But in the twenty-first century, we have multiplied multiple times and almost chasing to be 8 billion human populations. The ever-increasing human population has its own pros and cons. It is the law of nature to grow and so is we, there is nothing to doubt in that. But considering the fact that every new child being born into this world is increasing the burden to be able to suffice for the requirements that every human is bound to have. The population has increased ever so much that it is hard to predict how long our natural resources are going to last. This has not only jeopardized the future of our future generations but also harming the universe with a much greater force.
The only way to stop that from happening is by putting a slight pause in our population growth. Well, it must be a total surprise to you that there are such countries where the population is as meager as a small district of your town. Some of these countries have succeeded in regulating the population due to governmental measures while in other countries the cause is entirely natural and belongs to the health conditions.
What are the benefits of having low birth rates and low population?
- The birth rates control the growth of a country. The more evenly distributed the resources are, the more healthy and happy the citizens will be.
- Controllable population means the citizens do not have to squeeze into tiny holes that they call their homes.
- Overpopulation also results in poverty and widening the difference between the rich and poor, therefore a country where the population is balanced means the population is also in equilibrium with respect to their family incomes.
- According to a survey, countries with low birth rates or controlled population are happier than the ones which are overpopulated, such as China or India.
- Another important fact linked to the overpopulation is that the well being of every citizen is greatly affected now that’s valuable resources are scarce.
- The long lying effect of having the population in control is that our natural resources will have time to recover and that our future generations will not have to live without them.
- Also, we will be preserving our climate and therefore, save the world from ending into an uncalled apocalypse.
- Another study has stated that countries with low birth rates pay more attention towards their own well being than merely concentrating on how to make the ends meet.
Although, the fact that low birth rates could also be a result of poor health conditions and worse living conditions is lesser known fact and should be acknowledged.
The fact that birth rates vary tremendously all across the globe makes it even easier to make believe that world is getting better. Any which way, the top 10 countries with lowest birth rates will have you captivated by the degree of success and happiness they have in their community.
