High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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. The term population growth can technically refer to any species, but almost always refers to humans, and it is often used informally for the more specific demographic term population growth rate (see below), and is often used to refer specifically to the growth of the population of the world. Simple models of population growth include the Malthusian Growth Model and the logistic model. ... Read more

Product Description
This study deals with problems and policy options facing Third World mega-cities. It examines the major sources of urban population growth and spatial concentration, and analyzes the conflict between economic efficiency and decentralization. It also assesses the implications of rapid urban population growth for employment generation and poverty alleviation, discusses the relationship between urban poverty and access to housing and basic social services, and examines the problems of resource mobilization to finance urban programmes. The analysis is based on data gathered from several Third-World mega-cities, thus providing a comparative analysis of mega-city problems, and suggests the direction in which future policies need to be developed to deal more effectively with these problems.

Oberai include "Changes in the Structure of Employment with Economic Development", "State Policies and Internal Migration in Developing Countries: Studies in Planned and Market Economies"; "Migration, Urbanization and Development", "Land Settlement Policies and Population Redistribution in Developing Countries: Achievements, Problems and Prospects" and "Assessing the Demographic Imp ...

From the supplier: The supply of food crops such as rice, corn, wheat and other grain products is not proportional to population growth. Despite the robust increase in grain yields and agricultural productivity in different countries worldwide, the rapid population growth seems to undermine grain production. The expected surplus of grain products may not be sufficient for the demands of worldwide population. Countries should invest in enhancing food production and stabilizing population growth to avoid food crisis in the coming years.

From the supplier: Fertility rates began to decline in the 1970s, specially in large nations such as China and India. This decline slowed the population growth rate from 2.1% - 1.7%. However, fertility rates began to stall after this period. This indicated the need for education and economic change leading to a decreased demand for children. There is a need to attain demographic transition levels which indicate a stable population or one that only replaces itself with succeeding generations.
