关于人口问题的英语（优秀20篇）

It is a fact that college is becoming more and more expensive and college life is becoming especially hard for the students who were born in needy families. However, there are several ways in which these students can cover their tuition that their parents are not able to afford. Finding a part-time job, for example, is an ideal way. Besides, one can ask the bank for a loan and repay it when he has the ability. Finally, one can seek assistance from the society.

For me, earning tuition by doing part-time jobs is the most suitable way. First, I learn to be independent both mentally and economically in this way. Apart from this, I no longer need to wor-ry my parents with so heavy a burden. Finally, since I earn my own living, I will be more confi-dent with myself and, therefore, I can live a busy but meaningful college life.

What Can We Do for the Environment

our environment is becoming worse and worse，what can we do for the environment?I think each of us can do a little bit to help with this problem。

The first thing we can do is to use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. It helps to protect the environment. The second thing we can do is to reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. We should also never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms in order to save energy. Whats more，it would be better if we walk or ride a bike to school. We should try our best to reduce pollution and waste。

In fact，even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.

人口问题(The Problems of Large Population)

It is reported that the world’s population was 6 billion in the year 2,000, and it is growing faster and faster. The world’s population problem is the greatest one because it brings lots of problems, such as water resources problem, more and more people losing their jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the population of the developing countries is over 4/ 5 of the world’s popuation. So China, the largest developing country, has kept the policy one couple, one child.

Our family lives in an old residence. Although those buildings have built for nearly ten years, everything is good to live there. There are several schools around it. Everything is very convenient. But there is a problem makes me afraid. The parking lot is too dark. About a week ago, the lights of the parking lot were broken. But there is nobody to fix them. So the whole parking lot is in dark. Everytime when I get off my father’s car, I will hold his hand right away, because I am very afraid of darkness. I hope someone can fix the lights as soon as possible.

我们家住在一个比较老的小区。虽然那些房子都已经建了差不多十年了，但是在那里生活一切都挺好的。附近有好几所学校。什么事情都很方便。但是有一个问题让我很害怕。那就是停车场太黑了。大约一星期前，停车场的灯坏了。但是没人去修。所以整个停车场就陷在黑暗中。每次我一下我爸爸的车后，我都会马上抓住他的手走，因为我很怕黑。我希望有人能尽快修好电灯。

人口无论是在数量还是在结构上的变迁，都会对国家安全产生深刻影响，而中国今天正处在新一轮人口变迁中。

进入新世纪以来，中国面临的人口再生产状况已经发生了根本变化。中国人口在上世纪50、60年代，由传统的高出生、高死亡、低增长，转变到高出生、低死亡、高增长后，仅仅30年左右的时间，就已过渡到20世纪90年代以来的低出生、低死亡、低增长。而且，出生率下降的趋势基本不可逆转。

可以预见，在中国的工业化和城市化进程仍在加速推进的情况下，无论人口政策如何调整，今后中国人的生育观念也将很难回头，人口总和出生率将继续保持在世代更替水平之下甚至进一步下落。日本、俄罗斯和韩国等国在现代化过程中的人口变迁经历，都已说明了这一点。这两点变化决定了未来中国人口结构变化的走势，比如老龄化时代到来，性别比的失衡，还有独生子女在主流城镇社会成为中坚人口，以及少数族群人口在中国人口中的比重上升，在西部地区聚居度增大等。

这些变化使中国国家安全面临新的问题和挑战。首先就是发展安全。由于老龄化程度加深，社会总抚养比增大，用于老龄人口养老、医疗等的费用增多，将使国民收入中用于消费的部分增加，而用于投资的部分将不得不减少，使支撑国家长远发展的财政能力受到制约。如果中国因此发生经济停滞，今天中国人热衷说着的“大国崛起”、“伟大复兴”等等，将不过是镜花水月，一厢情愿。

二是军事安全。近20余年来中国国家利益日益拓展，对军事安全的需求不断增多。但在国民收入三部分：消费、投资和防务中，由于用于消费的部分增多，投入到国防的国民收入，将来也可能不得不压缩或受到很大限制。一个老龄化的社会必然在心理上总体趋向保守和防御，公众对于良好社会保障的压力会使国家不可能将更多财富用于国防建设。这一问题目前在中国还不明显，但再过一二十年，情况就有可能发生显着变化。

在中国国家利益日益拓展的情况下，如果没有足够的财政能力支撑足够的军事能力，这不仅影响军事安全，也影响发展安全。同时，一个独生子女占劳动力主体、老龄化程度日深的社会，也将侵蚀一个国家防范和进行战争的能力。在独生子女家庭占中国家庭总量几乎一半的情况下，整个社会对战争的承受能力将完全不同于以往。

三是社会安全。目前，中国尚未初步建成完善的全民社会保障体系，特别是在社会保障上城乡分别明显，中国两种社会和人口———城市社会与农村社会、城市人口与农村人口间的对立，今后也可能加剧，从而影响社会安定。

中国人口正由传统农业人口向现代工商业人口转换，大量农业人口进入城市后，一旦城市经济发生危机，很多人就将会在城市成为流民或游民。从一些国家从传统农业社会向现代工商业社会转型的情况看，人口转型同样产生过严重的社会问题，甚至由此引发过革命。

还有一点不能忽视，大量适婚男性将因男女比例失衡而无法组织正常家庭生活，这将不仅诱发贩卖人口现象的增多，而且可能加剧黑社会活动及其他危害社会安定因素。

四是文化安全。中国近些年来日益突出的信仰危机、价值观问题，很大程度上也与上世纪70年代以来人口结构的变化有关。中国传统儒家文明的继承是靠中国特定的生育文化来支撑的。然而，独生子女群体不仅在改变人口结构、社会结构，也在改变文明结构。有调查显示，独生子女在对家庭和社会的责任、集体意识、合作精神和牺牲奉献观念等方面，与以往多子女家庭出身的人群相比，有显着差异，在这一代人身上，中国传统价值观的色彩更为淡薄。

由人口变迁所带来的国家安全问题，有些已处于逐渐爆发期，有些还处于积累期，现在来看还不是特别严峻，但未来会对中国的发展形成重大影响。为此，中国的人口政策应该做出一些相应的调整。

与上世纪50年代至80年代的防止人口突然增长过多不同，今后中国更应防止的是，新出生人口规模因出生率下降而出现大幅度下降，以及人口性别比失衡程度加重。为此，应促使独生子女家庭在全国家庭数量中的比重逐渐减小，以保证国家发展安全，同时也保证中国传统信仰结构和文明传统不至于在一两代人之间就完全断绝，和保证未来中国军队中的绝大部分成员不是独生子女构成。再比如，在人口政策上，中国目前在不同地区对不同人口群体分别对待，这在一定时期有其必要性，但现在已有调整的必要。

更重要的是，中国应根据“人口红利”可能将于2015年左右丧失的情况，加快产业升级，摆脱单纯的劳动密集型经济发展模式。同时，推动产业转移，促进西部地区工商业发展，带动人口空间移动。在西部地区，特别是少数民族人口聚居程度比较高的地方，如果也能实现更高程度的工业化和城市化，将大大减小地区发展差别，促进社会发展公平，以及东西部之间的人****流。

As we all know,Chinas mainland population grew to 1.339 billion by 2010,according to census figures released on Thursday,so the government take many action to reduce population.In the most families only have one children,for example me,in my home,my parents only have one children.In fact,I really want to have a brother or sister,because if I have a brother or sister,I will not feel lonely.And if I have some problems,he or she can help me.We can play together and grow up together,when I saw other children play with his brother pr sister in my childhood,I’m admired him very much.Until now,I also want to have a brother,if I have something can’t tell others,I can tell him,and he will protect me.

So in the future,when I have my own family,I will be a parent,I hope I will have two children,one is a boy,the other is a girl.They can accompany with each other,and the brother can protect sister if she have some problems in the outside,and they can study how to cooperate.When they grow up,we will be old,he and she also have many babies,and we will live together very happy.

The problem of old age is known as one of the most serious problem in todays world. The old people can be seen everywhere. As is shown in the graph, the number of people in the world over the age of sixty will have increased to 600 million by the end of this century. And by the time, there will also be twice as many people over the age of eighty. In the ten years between 1970 and 1980, there was a 23.7% increase in the number of people aged over sixty-five in the industrial world, and an even bigger increase of 38.2% in the developing world.

With the development of economy, the rise in peoples living standards and the improvement of medical conditions, people are living longer and longer. Furthermore, birth rates are falling as the pace of population growth slows down. As a result, the number of old people in the world is experiencing an increase. Though the increase will cause manifold social and economic consequences, we can take effective measures to deal with it. So I believe a bright tomorrow for old people will be achieved through efforts of every person.

【参考译文】

老年问题被认为是当今世界最严重的问题之一。到处都可以看到老年人。如图所示，到本世纪末，六十岁以上的世界人口将增至6亿人。到那时，也会有两倍于八十岁以上的人。在1970至1980年间的十年间，工业世界六十五岁以上人口增加了23.7%，发展中世界人口增长了38.2%。

随着经济的发展，人民生活水平的提高，医疗条件的改善，人们的寿命越来越长。此外，随着人口增长速度放慢，出生率也在下降。结果，世界上老年人的数量正在增加。虽然增加会造成多种社会和经济后果，但我们可以采取有效措施加以处理。所以我相信，老年人的光明明天将通过每个人的努力来实现。

It has been estimated that a thousand years ago there were less than 400 million people on earth. However, in the recent thousand years human population has increased nearly 20 times. Nowadays the world population has reached more than 7000 million. The population.

First, a lot of people cant get employment, which is a universal problem in the world. Second, in developing countries there are not enough shelters for too many people and so some people are not properly housed and even are exposed to the elements. Third, in underdeveloped countries a lot of people suffer from hunger because of food shortage, which in turn causes many other problems, malnutrition, disease, etc. Fourth, there are not enough schools for so many people and so a lot of people are illiterate.

Therefore, to eliminate these problems, human beings should take effective measures to control population.

nothing in todays world is as big a problem as that of population. people begin to worry about the support capacity of the earth. and there might be only standing room for each person in the future.

limas population was 5. 7 million in 1985 but it grew to 9. 1 million in 2000. tianjins was 7.9 million in 1985. in 2000, it boosted to 9. 7 million. such cities as london, osaka, moscow, beijing, karachi, delhi, jakarta, seoul, and teheran are having a similar population growth. calcutta, shanghai, new york, and sto paulo see a faster population explosion. tokyo had 18.8 million in 1985. in 2000 it turned into 20.2 million. mexico city had 17.3 million people in 1985, but in 2000, its population reached 25.8 million!

what does the population growth mean? it means greater and greater consumption and greater pressure for the earth. if more people are added to the world population without our being alert or taking any action, we would have only standing room by the end of the 21st century.

each government and the un should see that population of each country and each city stops growing for the next fifty years.

Better City ，Better life

优质的城市，优质的生活

Environmental problem has become an important and crucial issue. The abysmal lack of fresh water, the desertification, the green house effect and the extinction of creatures are the main issues in environment.

环境问题已成为一个重要和关键的问题。恶化的淡水缺乏，沙漠化，温室效应和生物灭绝是环境的主要问题。

With each second that passes, a water crisis takes another step closer to reality. Consumption of fresh water has tripled since 1950; and fresh water is becoming a very scarce resource. Agricultural practices, mainly irrigation, account for 67% of world water consumption. Over one billion people worldwide dont have access to clean drinking water. So it is incumbent upon all to respect every drop of water and avoid the generation of waste.

随着每一秒的过去，水危机用其他的方法去接近现实。新鲜水用量自1950年以来已经翻了两番;和淡水已成为一个非常稀缺的资源。农业实践，主要是灌溉，为世界用水量67％以上。全世界十几亿人无法获得干净的饮用水。因此，呼吁所有有责任尊重每一滴水，避免废物的产生。

The soil under our feet is also getting away from us. Removal of the natural vegetation leaves extensive tracts of land devoid of a plant cover and susceptible to wind and water erosion. Finally, desertification is accomplished. Four specific activities have been identified as major contributors to the desertification processes: over-cultivation, overgrazing, firewood gathering, and over-irrigation. The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the great difficulty in reversing or even slowing the process. Once the soil has been removed by erosion, only the passage of centuries or millennia will enable new soil to form. The tree planting is a dominant contributor to the development of the disaster. Another effective measure is to restrain the utilization of the land and to exploit the new technology to improve the productiveness of the arable land.

在我们脚下的土地也越来越远离我们。自然植被因为缺乏土地植被和易受风蚀和水蚀而死亡。最后，荒漠化完成。四项具体活动已被确定为对荒漠化的主要导致的过程：过度农垦，过度放牧，薪柴采集和过度灌溉。荒漠化的极端严重性，导致减缓甚至逆转这一过程非常困难。一旦土壤被侵蚀，只有几百年或几千年的才能抵御，使新的土壤形成。主要控制灾情发展都归功于植树。另一个是抑制土地利用率和利用新科技来提高耕地生产率的有效措施。

Our globe is warming up. GHG gases are the main contributor. Carbon dioxide emissions to air are almost exclusively associated with the conversion of energy carriers like natural gas, crude oil, and so forth. Optimization of energy efficiency and, thus, reduction of CO2-emissions and reduction of other GHG emissions contributed from production processes may be the first to be

discussed. And the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation, represents one way of managing a carbon footprint.

我们的地球正在变暖了。温室气体是主要的来源。二氧化碳排放到空气中几乎都是在像天然气，原油等能源载体的转换有关。能源效率，因此优化，二氧化碳的排放和其他温室气体减排贡献减少，生产工艺，第一次将要被讨论。发展减缓碳排放量，如通过太阳能或风能或重新造林的替代项目，代表一个管理方式的碳足迹。

The greed of human beings is using up the plants and animals. Tigers once roamed over most of Asia and we can only see them in the zoo. Whales are once the dominant species in the ocean and now they have got out of our sight because of over-harvesting. We must stop harvesting natural resources to excess and bring them back from the brink of extinction. If we take from the wild we must do it in ways that allow natural populations to recover and last long into the future.

人类的贪婪是使用了植物和动物。猛虎组织一度横跨了亚洲大部分地区，我们只能在动物园里看到它们。鲸是海洋中的一次优势种，现在他们现在已经离开了我们的视线，因为过度捕捞。我们必须停止过度采伐天然资源，从他们来的地方，带来了灭绝的边缘。如果我们在野外，我们必须采取的这样的方式使自然种群的恢复和持续，一直持续到未来很长的时间里。

The earth is not the human’s planet, it is our planet. It’s time to take measures to improve the environment for both humans and other creatures. A safe, clean and sustainable environment depends on more than lip service. Both the government and individuals have the responsibility to minimize direct impacts against the environment. All of us can start planting plants in our home, limiting the use of private cars and using public transportations. And the government should impose necessary standards upon the whole society. The beautiful and vigorous earth will come back soon.

地球不是人类的星球，它是我们的星球。现在是时候应该采取措施改善人类和其他生物的环境了。一个安全，清洁和可持续的环境不是取决于纸上谈兵。无论是政府和个人都有责任，尽量减少对环境的直接影响。我们都可以在我们的家开始种植植物，限制私家车的使用和使用公共交通。政府应强加给整个社会所必需的标准。美丽和活力地球将会很快回来。

living conditions on Guangzhou sport university

Guangzhou sport university was founded in October 1958, it is one of the oldest sports university founded in China.The first time I entered the campus as a freshman, I was deeply attracted by her cultural atmosphere and historical connotation. I enjoy my life here.The accommodation, canteen, library and some other living conditions.

The accommodation service of our university has gained in acceptance increasingly because of its high quality and relatively low expense. But the dorm often without water. I hope that the school can find a solution as soon as possible so that we had on the day of water. Moreover our library contains a large variety of books. In it you will find both literary and scientific and technical and sports books in Chinese and in foreign languages.We often go to look for books which we want to borrow or to read articles which we like to consult.Our library provides all useful reading matter and reference materials according to our needs.Otherwise, canteen service is pretty good. So we need not worry that we would lose our appetite when far away from home. The varieties of the food are so wide that we can enjoy differently delicious dish every day. What’s more, the prices are very reasonable. We are satisfied physically and mentally.

I love Guangzhou sport university, so I love my class, which is just like another home with my fellows owning the same dream.

“我不喜欢弟弟或妹妹，因为那样爸爸妈妈就不会再爱我……”最近上网总能看到类似于二胎这样的话题。这个政策是去年新颁布的，瞬间引起了社会各界的更关注，它已成为我们备考高考作文的话题之一。

此政策在网络和微信上引发了热议(become a sensation on the Internet and We Chat)。不少网友认为"00后"(children born after 2000)太自私，即使是同意父母生二胎的孩子，在有了弟弟妹妹后脾气也会变坏。但也有不少人认为，这仅仅是教育方式的问题而已(the problem lies in education)。如青岛一所小学的一群四年级学生日前成立了"反弟弟妹妹联盟"，说服父母不要生二胎。(A group of fourth-graders at an elementary school in Qingdao formed an "anti-siblings alliance" in an effort to persuade their parents not to have a second child.)该校一名老师最近发现，班里有八个孩子常聚在一起窃窃私语，讨论这件事(hold secret meetings to discuss the issue)。这些学生担心弟弟妹妹会分走自己独享的父母宠爱(steal their parents exclusive love)。

有话题就会有相关词汇，这就要求大家在平常的学习中多多积累，这样到用了时候心中自然就有丘壑。同时也可以扩充相关词汇，如：流动人口mobile population;独生子女家庭only child family;生育时间表birth time schedule;备孕plan for pregnancy。

二胎政策实施过程中，也给社会带来了一定的影响。这一部分探讨也可以作为作文的写作素材。如全面二孩政策(universal two-child policy)出台后，中国内地主要城市三居室或四居室的大户型房子(large three or four-bedroom homes)销量攀升。北京和上海等城市的很多夫妇正在搜寻居住环境更佳的大房子(hunt for larger homes with a better environment)，为家里添丁加口早做准备。据估计，新的生育政策将使未来5年内多增加1700万新生儿(extra 17m babies being born within the next five years)。

Nowadays,population as well as environment has become a very important problem.

With the development of China ,the population is growing faster and faster,though,Chinese government has put forward strageties, such as ,one child policy.But at the same time ,the increase has slown down,which is to our relief.

As for the environment,the biggest problem is that people do damage to it and seldome do they protect.So,we would like to say,if they still don·t stop those silly mistakes made to destroy the environment,one day ,human beings will be the last creature in the world.

范文 (One possible version)

Hello, everyone,

Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.

Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.

As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

Almost every country in the world faced the population problem.China has the largest population, so the one-child policy was necessay. In America, there were 2 billion people 20 years ago, now there were 3 billion. Some day they will have the same amount people as we had in china, will they apply our population control policyAnyway we could be sure they will not critize our population policy at that time.

“你如果要体会什么是沮丧，你就在春节前后到北京或广州的火车站去看看。一张张怆惶的脸在人群中涌动。你这时才知道了一个民族的伤口在哪里。”刚分到国家计生委的研究生小M对几位作家这样描述。他工作的国家计生委在二十年中使中国少生了5个亿，这个数字推迟了灾难降临中国大陆。但他们要忍受很多来自国际上的谴责以及国内的不理解、甚至基层工作人员被暴力侵害。而且这个单位一直被忽视……

人口灾难是否会降临，我们不得而知。我们只知道未来一个世纪中国大陆最大的问题(比环境、****、经济、教育更严峻)是人口问题。

大陆老农穷贫到极点却不忘生孩子

“你猜我们家的保姆家里有几个小孩，你保准猜不着，她兄弟姐妹9个。”女作家项小米对我叹道：“太可怕了!他们陕西那什么县，普遍如此，都是七八个孩子。没活干，没田种，树全砍秃了，地慢慢变成沙漠，这些人要吃饭，就都跑到城里。把城里弄的脏乱差，犯罪率激升。就冲这我也要把我女儿送到美国……”

记者在近一两年中发现，这种一家生五六个、七八个的现象在大陆许多地方

相当普遍。计划生育的国策，各地执行是很弹性的，有的地方甚至变成干部敛钱的工具，你不是要生吗?拿钱来。

实际上，独生子女政策已经成为汪洋大海中的城市孤岛的一块招牌。

记者几年前到国家贫困县山西大宁采访扶贫款被贪污案时，曾到一个家徒四壁的山民家里走访，这家主人，一个四五十岁的低矮老农，连遭不幸，不仅被干部用他的名字领扶贫款，却分文没给他，最小的男孩子还被山草中的蛇咬伤，性命垂危。当我们走进他山坳中的窑洞时，他哭了起来，我们力所能及地给了他一点资助，他扑通跪在地上以表感激。当知道他有多少孩子时，我们几个人都大吃一惊，八个。

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

More than half of Beijings adult single children dont intend to have two kids, even though national policy allows them to do so.

The countrys family planning policy of the late 1970s restricted urban families from having more than one child to control population growth.

However, a new survey by the Beijing Administrative Institute shows 52 percent of those now-grown-up single children, who are allowed two offspring, do not want a second child.

Many cited economic pressures as a factor.

The results were released on Sunday at the Beijing Forum, organized by Peking University.

Beijing has roughly 2 million only-child adults.

More than 1,100 people from only-child families, aging 20 to 34, were polled.

Only 24 percent of respondents said they would like to have two children.

More than a quarter of respondents would opt for a "DINK" (double income, no kids) lifestyle.

Survey figures showed that respondents with a primary education wanted 1.1 children on average, those with a bachelor degree wanted 1.3, and those with masters or higher degrees wanted 1.5 children.

"Beijing has maintained a super low birth rate - less than 1.3 children in a family in average - for nearly 20 years, posing increasing pressure on the countrys aging population," Hou Yafei, a professor with the institute, said.

Hou said that the top four factors that determined peoples intentions to have children were "income, child care, housing and policy conditions".

"The government should encourage couples from one-child families to have a second child and should provide better welfare services."

This would promote population sustainability, Hou said.

The survey also found that people with higher education backgrounds intend to have more children because they are more confident with their financial security.

With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

科学的进步和生活条件的改善导致了世界人口的迅速增长。例如，现代医学使婴儿健康成长和人们长寿的可能性成为可能。随着生活条件的改善，特别是在农村，人们往往有更大的家庭。结果，世界人口增长如此迅速，现在已超过60亿。

但是人口的过度增长对人类社会的生存构成了威胁。大量的人口需要大量的食物供应和住房空间。然而，有限的生产力和稀缺的世界资源很难满足日益增长的人口需求。因此，从长远来看，世界人口的过度增长只会损害人类。

为了保障人类社会的稳定发展，人类必须认识到人口快速增长所带来的后果，实行计划生育。只有采取有效措施，人类社会才能稳步发展，前途光明。

In todays world there is no big problem as a population. People began to worry about the support of the earth. And theres probably only standing room for everyone in the future.

The population of Lima is 5. It was 7 million in 1985, but it grew to 9. 1 million in 2000. Tianjin was 790 million in 1985. In 2000, it increased to 9. 7 million dollars. London, Osaka, Moscow, Beijing, Karachi, New Delhi, Jakarta, Seoul and Tehrans population growth has a similar city. Calcutta, Shanghai, New York, St Paul and STO saw a faster population explosion. Tokyo has 18 million 800 thousand in 1985. It became 20 million 200 thousand in 2000. Mexico City had 17 million 300 thousand people in 1985, but in 2000, its population reached 25 million 800 thousand!

What does population growth mean? This means increasing consumption and greater soil pressure. If more people are added to our world, the population has not been warned or taken any action, we will only stand in the end of twenty-first Century.

Each government and the United Nations should see that each countrys population and each city stay for the next 50 years.
