Geography (23321)

The document discusses future population growth projections, estimating a rise to 9.5 billion by 2050 and 10 billion by 2100. It supports Boserup's theory, suggesting that as low-income countries (LICs) gain wealth, they will adopt agricultural technologies to support population growth, while also acknowledging potential challenges from Malthus' theory regarding resource distribution. Additionally, it highlights the impacts of population growth on food production, resource usage, climate change, and economic conditions, noting increased job demand but potential decreases in GDP per capita.

Population Theories Aarin, Anishram, Thadhus

Future Population
Growth until 2100
According to the graphs, the
population will reach around 9.5
billion by 2050 and by then it will
stop growing rapidly. By 2100, it
will only reach 10 billion (only 500
million more than 2050).

Boserup or Malthus
We agree more with Boserup because the LICs will get more money so, they will be able to afford agricultural
technology. Thus, enabling to increase in the population, but Malthus' theory could end up being true if we can't
share our resources correctly and the birth rate doesn't decrease. We still agree with Boserup because LICs will end
up becoming powerful enough to secure resources and their birth rate will decrease like HIC’s.

Affect of the population to


food production
Even though the population growing, The amount of food being
produced is also growing. This is because as LICs get more population,
they get richer, and they can afford more agricultural technologies. We
can see this in the graph that shows crop yields have increased since
1961. World Crop Yields, 1961-2020

Affect of the population to resources


As the population grows the number of resources that we use
also increases. This is because the more people we have the
more resources we have to use. An example of this is our usage
of palm oil, where in the 1970s we used around 2.5 million
metric tonnes of palm oil whereas in 2009 we used 42.5 million
metric tonnes of palm oil.
Usage of palm oil through
Affect of population to climate the years

The climate will be negatively affected by the increase


in population because there will be an increase in
consumption of fossil fuels and land. We can see this
from the increase in Carbon dioxide and temperature in
the graph

How will the population growth affect


the economy
As the population grows, jobs will also start to fill up meaning that not everyone will be able to get a
job. On the other hand, there will still be a lot of people getting jobs because demand will start to
increase meaning the companies will need to start hiring more people to work. The economy of the
country will increase, but the GDP per capita will decrease due to not everyone having a job.
