Question

Do you think the global population will ever be able to reach zero population growth? Why or why not? Describe what would need to happen to fertility rates in order to reach zero population growth. What conditions lead to lower fertility rates in women? How can this be achieved in developing countries? What role should developed countries play in reducing global fertility rates?

Answer 1

It is very difficult or we can say quite impossible that the global population will ever be able to reach zero population growth, this is because for this each and everyone has to aware about the impact of population growth on the global crisis. But this is a quite difficult job to achieve this because awaring everyone is very difficult.

The fertility rate has to be at replacement level type to achieve the zero population growth. Means the number of birth and death ratio should be same.

Reasons that can lead to lower fertility rates in women are education, delaying the age of first birth, use of contraceptives, family planning, lower marriage rate, divorce etc.

In developing countries, this can be achieved through proper education and awareness.

Developed countries are aware of the effect of this, so they should decrease the birth rate so that at least something can be achieved.
