Population growth is the change in population over time, and can be quantified as the change in the number of individuals in a population using "per unit time" for measurement.

It seems that many of the world's problems would be solved if the population growth was curbed -- environmental, social, etc. I am thinking of countries like Ethiopia, which had a huge famine in the 80's, and since then doubled its population and is heading towards another one. It just doesn't make sense. Asked by Thalia - Wed Dec 23 05:29:59 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It probably boils down to two areas of cultural sensitivity. 1. The prejudicial/political/gen ocidal nuances..rich vs poor, etc.. telling one group they should reproduce vs another.. that would probably be the case for Ethiopia 2.

Did you know that they could be ordered to terminate the pregnancy? This kind of control is difficult for many to accept. And some religions reject the idea of control.
