Population

Actually, in my opinion, high population can be either benefit or harm for human in the future. A lot of people would be man-power to work for their nations. But, in view of long term and world-widely, explosion of population makes shortage of water, land and many kinds of resources. For maintain a number of population properly, government's control of birth rate is very important. As we know, in case of China, a family only can make 1 child because of control of birth rate. China's a lot of population is big issue, so, the government is controlling it. However, in case of Japan, their situation is opposite with China. Therefore, Japan government is offering social services and money to women who have babies. This is a Japan government's preparation for lack of population in Japan. Those policies in China and Japan are their strategy for problem of population. Each country need to have their proper policy for population.

Hi Jungwon
Your example was very good and it is true that each country needs to have their proper policy for population. But generally, case of Japan is totally different and also they need more young people, that’s the reason of their policy. So we can’t say that high population is beneficial for some countries.
See you ;)

Nice posting and reply. I'd just add that, as the video talked about, it's perhaps easier to lower the fertility rate than it is to encourage an increase in births.

Hi Jungwon,

Nice reflection on population. I always wonder about the long-term social effects of the 1-child policy in China. A country without siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles...
