Speech on World population
INTRODUCTION
A very good morning to all my dear friends respected principal, and teachers today I will be giving a speech on the topic “World population its threat and how we can help control it”.
As of now the world population count stands at 7.9 billion which in Indian numbers is close to 790 Crore human alive. China and India are the major contributors to this booming population. China and India contributes to 36% of the world’s population whereas Africa contributes to only 17%. Other than these countries, others contribute to less than 10%, Antarctica are being the least populated to only 0.5% i.e only 1200 people.
Countries like China and India need to think over to control your growing population as overpopulation causes depletion of resources or scarcity which can lead to poor life living standards among the people. Earth tries to balance everything in nature i.e. consumer and producer balance, but due to overpopulation consumers are increasing but the producer are constant. The amount of food produced is the same but the number of people eating as increasing day by day in millions.
The main reasons for this overpopulation is lack of knowledge among people on what their actions may result and how population is affecting nature also. There are many countries who are taking steps to reduce population. Birth dates are more as compared to death rates which results in increasing in population day by day. Analyzing the data of year 2020 total deaths was 7.3/1000 where has total number of birds 18.2/1000, which explains the population boom condition. for the growth population, demand for food, clothes, basic amenities also increases which results in scarcity of natural resources leading to over cutting of trees for houses and education, over cultivation on land resulting in poor soil quality and lack of water resources as every living thing needs water to survive .Population is expected to increase at this rate only up to 2100 and is expected to decline due to lower fertility rates.
Conclusion
World population increment is a serious issue that should be administered seriously and should be solved with great ideas and steps. One such step taking country e is China where only one child was allowed from 1980-2016 and then it was done to two children policy from 2016-2021. Now due to less births in China this policy may be changed to a three child policy.
India’s Uttar Pradesh state has adopted two child policy in an attempt to reduce its population to 2.1 per thousand people. Such policies should be adopted by other states and countries also to regain the balance between nature and humans or we can say producers and consumers. populationcontrol will result in better life standards natural resources in sufficient amounts and most importantly it will help in sustainable development. India always supported the slogan “hum do, hamare do” which means “we two, our two”, two parents to children which will help in better life.
“CONTROL POPULATION, SAVE NATURE”
