Two of the world’s fasted growing economies, China and India, also happen to be the world’s two most populous nations. In 2010 India’s population was nearly 1.2 billion, well over triple the number at independence despite introducing the world’s first family planning policy in 1950. China’s population remains larger, but its highly restrictive one- child policy, despite being fairly successful at slowing fertility, has apparently been less successful that approaches based on women’s. Empowerment and education in some parts if India. India which had well under two-thirds of China’s population half a century ago is projected to surpass China by 200 million people around 2050.
The rate rose during the 1980s, before falling again after the early 1990s, with a recent increase since 2001. Some of the factors that affects the size and structure of the population are the proportion of women who are of childbearing age and how fertile they are. The UK's fertility rate has risen since 2001, but it is still much lower than in the past. From an all-time low of 1.63 children per woman in 2001 to 1.84 by 2006. These changes in fertility shows that more women are remaining childless than in the past and women are postponing having children, older women may be less fertile and have fewer fertile years remaining, so they produce fewer children.
12. It’s becoming hard to assign companies to one’s home country due to globalization. Most companies these days are world wide, with a possibility of having multiple hearths. This serves as a challenge because roughly 1/3 of global trade is within the multinational companies. For example, China generates more than 21% of U.S. economic output and employs 3/5s of all manufacture’s employees (about 1 million).
Almost one-third of adults in the U.S. are obese, and more than two-thirds of adults are overweight. Obesity rates have increased by 214 percent between 1950 and 2000(Livestrong.com). Also According to livestrong.com, the main cause for the increase it weight among American’s is lack of exercise, as well as the convenience of fast food, and caloric increase. This rise in obesity has increased diseases such as heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. As a country, we are spending over $190 billion a year treating these diseases, diseases that could be prevented by increasing exercise and decreasing calories.
Due to the serious lost of employment in the United States the people are faced with stress of debt and no income to support their families. The banks and lending institutions are over extended and pressured because of the government and nation's people have taken out loans to maintain a kind of life style which they can't afford. People, businesses and now the lending institutions are all going bankrupt. People can't afford food let alone paying a mortgage on their homes to the lending institutions. The number of products imported from other counties has increased over the years and exports have seriously decreased.
Men struggled to maintain and find jobs to support his family, and women struggled to put food on the table and care for her children with the little or no money that the men brought home. Many schools were forced to close down because the lack of money to stay open, three million children between seven and seventeen had to leave school and almost 40% young people between the ages of 16 to 24 were not working nor in school. Many children
However, China’s higher economic power over other nations lifted hundreds of millions of people from deep poverty and has helped improve health, education, and other social standards. According to the 2013 World Bank’s world developing indicators, China is listed among the Upper-Middle Income Countries (UMC) (Todaro and Smith, 2015, p. 43). Unlike China, the traditional mercantilists held almost all their nationals in abject poverty with an exception of the royalty, merchant capitalists, landlords and senior government officials (Brue and Grant, 2013, p. 18). The Heckscher-Ohlin factor proportions theory states that countries produce and export goods that require resources (factors) that are abundant and import goods that require resources in short supply (Wild and Wild, 2012, p. 140). China is labour abundant, influencing the cost of labour thereby attracting investment and economic
Declining wages have put affordable housing out of reach for many. As bad as it is for the 13% of homeless people (NCH 2007) who have jobs and can't escape homelessness, climbing out of homelessness is virtually impossible for those without a job. Many homeless people cannot find jobs due to not having an address or a contact number. They are turned down at interviews because of their unclean appearances because they cannot shower or clean their clothing. Although the wages seem to be increasing the amount of time in which the minimum wage did not keep up with the cost of living was lengthy and the economy is still struggling to catch up.
Poverty has increased due to a high unemployment rate, lower wages for many people, and a decreasing amount of public assistance benefits. Since the start of the recession, many people have lost their jobs and have been unable to find new employment or have been forced to work for wages far lower than they had previously been paid. In 1996, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, which provided cash assistance to poor families with children, was replaced with a grant program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). This program has not been able to keep up with inflation causing a higher poverty level among the already poor which has resulted in families not being able to afford housing (“Why are People Homeless,”
I have leaned that if your population is to high your people will feel crowded and there will be a food shortage but more people equals more taxes. So I had to figure out a way to balance the rising population but also Battle over population. The answer was (this is the shocker…) industrialization of farmlands. ( Again does this sound familiar?). Its no surprise that China is one of the most Industrialistic country with over 1, 330, 044, 544 people ( as of July 2008 Source: www.google.com ) which in my scientific analysis says nearly 700, 000, 000 are in the work force and within nearly 100, 000, 000 or less (much, much less) are in agriculture or livestock.
