WORLD PROBLEMS

In this new millennium, the most dangerous problem that we are facing, is the continuous increase in human population. And although most developed and highly educated countries are controlling their population growth, underdeveloped poor (and not well educated) countries continue to have too many children.


There is some good news, the world's TFR (Total Fertility Rate) has been reduced from 4.96 in the 50s to about 2.5 in this last decade (2010-2020)



But look at the graph bellow. And notice that it took 11,900 years to reach a population of 1 billion. However, in the last 100 years the population increased by about 7 billions. And it is now at more than 8 billions, and growing every minute.



So we still have population problems that can create wars, famines, epidemics, etc.
