Zero Population Growth Analyses
This is an excerpt from the paper...
There are some academics, economist, population experts and others who are not alarmed by the huge increases of global population which currently is growing at 1.3% per year (Population 1). The enormous population increases, particularly in underdeveloped nations with little infrastructure or natural resources to contend with the explosion, have already strained resources around the world. According to the Dromedary Digest Online, 30 countries are already facing water shortages, grain output has leveled out at 1%, and even though inventive conservation methods is projected to increased water supply by 10% over the next 30 years, to keep up with population growth it is estimated it needs to be 40% (Population 1). There are many political, economic, and environmental implications of population growth. Population-control ideology is often met with stiff opposition by religious groups and others, but it is often difficult to make state leaders realize the negative impact of unrestricted population growth on their infrastructure, resources, and the quality of life of their citizens. Experts warn that without getting LDC countries to integrate population factors in national policy plans, unprecedented danger looms. According to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), these population policies will be most effective when integrated with national plans like health services, education, agricultural re

Population growth rate is 1.47% and the birth rate is 21.8 births per 1000 with a total fertility rate of 2.39 children per woman (CIA). In addition to these numbers which place a severe strain on resources and infrastructure that are sorely in need of refurbishing and development, 40% of the people are estimated to be living under the poverty line in a country where inflation is 7.6% and the primary occupation is herding(CIA). While Mongolia does enjoy extensive mineral deposits, extensive external debt and a hesitant international investment community hamper any kind of real economic growth. Following zero-population policies would enable the government to reduce its debt and focus on shoring up the infrastructure to attract foreign investment while improving the quality of life for those living in Mongolia.
Nigeria
Like most places on the African continent, Nigeria would benefit tremendously in many ways from following zero-growth population policies. In a country where health care, education, employment and oth
