Population Growth - main Challenge to Future of Mankind

There may be some truth to it - Greece could probably grow out of its debt problem if population growth accelerates. But all-too-often analysts and commentators (and the politicians all over the world) see population growth as a positive. But stopping and reversing it would be the best way to stop environmental degradation!

Population Growth often overlooked factor

The country had a population of 22 Million in 1945, latest estimate is for 2015 is 121 Million (!!), is it any surprise that many/most Developing countries are in a mess, and it is getting worse? All economic plans, reforms etc are fruitless endeavors if face of this human flood. Just imagine Switzerland with 30 Million people, of France with 210 Million!

Given the size of population they might vacuum clean the World's oceans, there needs to be a limit on fishing in the 'open oceans', 3, 10, 200 mile limits are just not enough

Growth at any Price no longer sustainable

The Economic and Media Commentariat is still wedded to the 'Growth at any Price' model. But there should be realisation that population growth as the major force behind GDP growth should be discounted and we should prepare for (at best) a static world population and realistically a drop in population. Naturally, the corporate world does not want this to happen, basically it operates on the principle 'apres nous le deluge', the investment community cheers it on on the chase for ever-higher sales, profits (and bonuses for the top dogs). I am far from being an enemy of the free markete/capitalist model but sometime the penny has to drop. Maybe focus should be more on making the model work in a more efficient way with the spoils distributed in a fairer way. Better schools and health care for all do not have to burden the environment.

Population growth is number one economic issue says Paul Farrell (Marketwatch) and we fully agree.
