According to United Nations demographics, the world's population reaches six billion today. The UN claims that the fact that one billion people are just entering reproductive maturity ensures continued population growth on an accelerated scale, AP reports. Most of the more than 1 billion persons aged 15 to 24 live in less developed nations, the UN says. There is no population problem.
Population growth is the result of the plunging death rate and increasing life expectancy worldwide.
The growth in human population has been more than met by increases in the production of food and other resources, including energy. Famine in the 20th century is a political rather than an ecological phenomenon. We are not running out of resources, and real prices of raw materials are lower than ever before. Only the price of labor consistently rises. People are net resource producers.
