Somewhere in the 19th century, there was an incredible rise of immigration rates. Immigrants were coming to America in big numbers, and they needed jobs and housing. The overflow of immigrants caused a new problem for them, for many of them were jobless and had poor housing. In the middle of the 19th century, immigrants were coming to America left and right. It quickly became a predicament where there were more people than places to live in.
He discusses that although the population is growing, our planet may not have all the resources it needs to accommodate the growing population. Kunzig states that with the increasing population will the planet have the resources it needs to support our growing population? It is discussed that the death to birth rate is completely unbalanced with 5 births to 2 deaths every second, which is causing our population to grow drastically. It is also discussed how the life span has also gone up around the world and by the year 2045 there will be 9 billion people living on this planet. Both are very big issues to worry
Food Price……….Health Prices in the current economy are constantly fluctuating. At the current pace, in a few years, it appears that the only people who will be able to afford to live comfortably will be the rich. Everything that humans consume for survival is quickly becoming more expensive. Writer David Francis wrote about how one economic status is incorporated into what one eats in "Where Do You Fall in the American Economic Class System?” This is exemplified through gas prices, housing mortgages, utility bills, and now even food costs. The ever-changing cost of food in our society is affecting the health of citizens in an unprecedented manner.
There is less opportunity of jobs than before. If immigrants become citizens it would mean more people looking for jobs. Despite the improving economy, we still have millions of citizens out of work. Whether it's lack of skills or lack of opportunities, many of those citizens will be forced to take the low-paying unskilled jobs. If you pump in millions of new workers seeking jobs, it decreases the amount of work available.
Housing prices in the privileged inner city are rising much faster than those of outer urban areas,potentially impeding inboard migration. (Holcombe, n.d,2014)Due to this, the market of house property situation will be tense, which reveals from that poor people are unable to afford the price of housing and they are forcing to live the fringe of the city where is not developed well. And the gaps between poor and rich areas will be emphasized by urban consolidation form by dividing them into different areas. Furthermore,people found that more emotional stress and psychological conditions are generated in high density areas. (Neuman,2005)The environmental aspects of urban consolidation is quite different with in developing the form of urban sprawl.
Overpopulation is a current environmental issue “where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth.” IT is causing deforestation and starvations but we have to grow. Our population growth rate is increasing at a steady rate. We cant really lower the growth rate but we can build more cities where many people can live. 26.
World hunger, pollution, and population growth all contribute to the increasing tensions felt around the world. World hunger has been created by an unequal distribution of food and resources to the people of the world. Wealthier nations, like the United States, consume more than their fair share of resources, and throw away millions of dollars of edible food each day. This wasted food could have fed starving people in areas like Ethiopia. Another problem with food distribution is that governments, like those in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are exporting crops to countries willing to pay higher prices as opposed to feeding its own people (Haviland, 2011, 2008).
The world population is growing faster than food can be produced. There are many countries that are starving because they can’t produce food. Some countries lack the money for research, education, or the land space. All across the world people are starving to death and this is the century that needs to fix it. There are countries like the U.S., Japan, and China that can educate other countries.
The United States’ economy is essentially the base of society. However, throughout history, as the economy has grown, serious problems have come up. The poverty rate today is extremely high, the minimum wage is not sufficient in providing for a family, and there is also discrimination and inequality all over the employment frontier. Also, many businesses are reluctant to enable employees to form unions. All of these problems over time have led to serious debate for change in the economy.
There is an rising demand in Australia for health workers. This shortage is caused by a number of factors relating to supply versus demand (Duckett, 2005). The population is ageing, a combination of lifestyle and environmental factors are increasing the burden of disease and causing a greater strain on the health workforce. The types of diseases associated with these factors are contributing to a requirement for particular skill mixes within the workforce. Due to an international shortage of health care professionals, Australia is competing worldwide to increase its own workforce.
