Where do you stand?
You will hear several statements. Stand in front of the sign that most closely represents what you believe about each statement. You will then be asked to explain your particular stand on each issue.
Tip
You may move to a different sign if your opinion changes after hearing your classmates’ views.
Statements
1. Because our population has reached seven billion people and continues to grow, we need to expand land area available for living and growing food by cutting down the rainforest.
2. Without reducing rapid population growth, it will be impossible to solve the world’s global challenges.
3. With more than 7 billion people commuting from one place to another, drilling for more oil is necessary to fuel more cars.
4. In order to feed our population, we must use pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and genetically modified crops to increase farm yields.
5. With new technologies used to gather fish, we must have international laws to ensure seafood is harvested sustainably.
6. The Earth can support over 7 billion people now and will be able to support any number of humans in the future.
7. In an effort to feed a population of over 7 billion, people in developed countries should reduce the amount of meat they consume.
8. Science and technology will ensure that food production and energy supplies keep up with the demands of a growing population.
12. In a real crunch, jobs are more important than environmental quality.
11. Governments in countries with fast-growing populations should make laws to limit the number of children that couples can have.
10. There is nothing I can do to help alleviate population pressures.
9. With human population over 7 billion, we must protect endangered species’ habitats by not developing on them for any reason.
Statements
13. With over 7 billion people on the planet, water pollution is inevitable and we should not waste money trying to prevent it.
14. Even though I am only one person in 7 billion, I still have a responsibility to keep the Earth healthy; what I do makes a difference.
15. Automobile makers in this country should be required by law to make all their vehicles fuel- efficient, even though the vehicles may become more expensive.
16. If China and India can each take care of over a billion people on relatively the same size land as the U.S., then the U.S. should accept immigrants until it reaches a billion people as well.
17. All high schools should be prohibited from distributing contraceptives to students under age.
18. Arable land should never be used for housing, businesses, or other non-agricultural uses because we need all available farmable land to produce food.

Population Pyramid
This is a population pyramid.
Demographers (people who study human populations) use it.
What information are demographers able to learn from it?
Two Bar Graphs
A population pyramid consists of
two bar graphs.
The blue one shows the male population.
The red one shows the female population.
Sex & Age
In addition to showing sex, population graphs show age.
Each bar shows what percent of the population is within a four year age range.
For example, about 3 ½ % of the population in the United States in 2000 were males who were 10 to 14 years old.
About 3 ½ % of the population in the United States in 2000 were females who were 10 to 14 years old.

Fertility rate
We're not having enough babies here in the US to replace the population. That's the finding of a new report from the National Center for Health Statistics, which found that the fertility rate for the US in 2017 continued to dip below what's needed for the population to replace itself. The rate in 2017 was 1,765.5 per 1,000 women -- 16% below what's needed for population replacement, the report said. South Dakota and Utah were the only states that had rates above replacement level. About 3.8 million babies were born in the US in 2017, the lowest number of births in 30 years.

CNN 5 Things: World Population June 26, 2019
In a little less than a decade, India will overtake China as the world's most populous country. This eye-popping prediction comes from a new UN report, which says India will have more people than China by 2027. The two countries account for about 37% of the entire global population of 7.7 billion. By 2050, the world's population will be 9.7 billion, the report predicts. A century earlier, that tally was 2.6 billion. More than half the predicted global population by 2050 will be clustered in just nine countries: the US, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia and Egypt.

Lagos is in Nigeria, and it is the biggest city in the continent of Africa. 15 million people lived in Lagos when this video was made, and it is up to 21 million now. It is growing by more than 600,000 people per year. That is ten times faster than NYC or LA. There is a high population density with 20,000 people per square kilometer.

How do population trends affect a country and the world?
There are endless reasons a big-box toy store would collapse during a retail apocalypse — and Toys R Us acknowledged a number of them in its most recent annual filing: the teetering tower of debt incurred by its private-equity owners, competition from Amazon, Walmart and Target.
They even wrung their hands about app stores, labor costs and potential tariffs raising the costs of the imported goods they sell.
But one risk stood out. Toys R Us said there just weren’t enough babies (emphasis ours):
The decrease of birthrates in countries where we operate could negatively affect our business. Most of our end-customers are newborns and children and, as a result, our revenue are dependent on the birthrates in countries where we operate. In recent years, many countries’ birthrates have dropped or stagnated as their population ages, and education and income levels increase. A continued and significant decline in the number of newborns and children in these countries could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
It may not have been the biggest existential threat confronting Geoffrey the Giraffe (the store’s mascot), but it’s the one with the broadest implications outside of the worlds of toys and malls.
Measured as a share of overall population, U.S. births have fallen steadily since the Great Recession. They hit their lowest point on record in 2016 — the most recent year for which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has comparable data.
Toys R Us was hurt by declining birthrates in the United States and other countries. (iSTOCK)
The change in the number of children born in the previous 12 years (and thus sitting right within the Toys R Us demographic), tracks closely with the company’s changing annual revenue.
Even adjusted for the aging population and declining share of women of childbearing age, U.S. fertility rates are at all-time lows.
That’s problematic for Toys R Us, which also operates the Babies R Us stores. The company claims in its annual report that its income is linked to birthrates, and it appears to be right.
And that’s why the company’s demise should worry the rest of us. Toys R Us focuses on kids, so it’s feeling the crunch from declining birthrates long before the rest of the economy. But it’s just a matter of time before the trends that toppled the troubled toy maker put the squeeze on businesses that cater to consumers of all ages.
The smaller generation of children whose lackluster toy consumption brought down Geoffrey the Giraffe will be adults soon. They’ll become the prime-age consumer spenders that drive U.S. economic growth.
And the generation after them will be smaller still, after accounting for a slight bump from the generational fallout of the baby boom.
There are, to be sure, numerous other factors at play. The same economic forces that encourage people to have children may also encourage them to splurge on toys, for example.
But it’s nonetheless apparent that Toys R Us’s fortunes rise and fall with the population of its target market.
Eventually, unless the country does something significant to encourage larger families or immigration, that narrowing base of the population pyramid will crawl upward.
In the end, Toys R Us will just have been the first of many businesses of all descriptions facing the same hard demographic truth: Economic growth is extremely difficult without population growth.
