Several authorities and doomsayers claim that the modern world is facing a serious and pressing problem of overpopulation, also termed as population explosion. What is overpopulation? What are its problems? Does it have a solution? Can population increase indefinitely? Is there mathematics that control population? How many human beings can the Earth support?

Apart from these questions, one might also ask: is population explosion really happening? Well, the answer is not difficult to explain. A close examination oj sources from undisputed data banks is to reveal the truth behind overpopulation and the birth dearth. And in the end, one wonders: is global population rising or falling?

Abstract


Several authorities and doomsayers claim that the modern world is facing a serious and pressing problem of overpopulation, also termed as population explosion. What is overpopulation? What are its problems? Does it have a solution? Can population increase indefinitely? Is there mathematics that control population? How many human beings can the Earth support?

Apart from these questions, one might also ask: is population explosion really happening? Well, the answer is not difficult to explain. A close examination oj sources from undisputed data banks is to reveal the truth behind overpopulation and the birth dearth. And in the end, one wonders: is global population rising or falling?
