The New World removed Malthusian constraints, which, until then, had meant that higher population growth could be achieved only at the expense of lower living standards.
The chief reason for the population growth isn't so much a rise in birth rates as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
This paper deduces a theoretical population model in a urban system under a hypothetical condition of zero population growth (ZPG), and analyses the population dynamics for the model.
try to keep population growth in line with social and economic development
Worldwide, virtually all population growth over the next 30 years will be in urban areas, with the most explosive growth taking place in Asia and Africa.
However, doing any of that without also making efforts to slow population growth makes an uphill climb even more difficult.

In 1920, despite population growth of 2.4 times the per capita share of grain remains in 1000 kg.
We know that we are getting even older, and that the nearer a society approximate to zero population growth, the older its population is likely to be - at least, for any future that concerns us now.
Because of population growth and the loss of farmland, the average farm size in China and Bangladesh has fallen from about 1.5 hectares in the 1970s to barely 0.5 hectares now;
The report predicts population growth and climate change could cut available water in half by 2050.
Sure, their growth often could be much stronger than that of developed economies, partly because of robust population growth and steadily improving standards of living.
Global population growth, warmer climate, more serious environmental pollution, quickened urbanization, etc, those are the factors affect its quality and quantity.
But population growth is raising demand.
We should concentrate our efforts on the management of family planning and related services in rural areas and among the floating population so as to control population growth.
This has helped in the intensive food production which has characterized the modern world, and in turn made possible the massive population growth of the 20th century.
Reaping the "demographic dividends" seen in declining dependency rates and slowing population growth.
That is the number needed to keep a population stable, so observers sometimes take it as a given and say that America's population growth is entirely due to immigration.
The nearer a society approximates to zero population growth, the older its population is likely to be-at least, for any future that concerns us now.
The average annual growth of grain output was 2.7 percent, greatly exceeding the population growth rate. Particularly in the last three years, China has continuously reaped good grain harvests, with the output in 1996 topping 500 million tons. This has reversed the long-term grain shortage in China.
In the third part of the article, it introduces what some foreign countries are doing when they face the question of negative population growth, to learn from the world's advanced law culture.
The annual population growth rate over the decade averaged 1.7 percent.
Results of the advance tabulation of the Fifth National Population Census indicate that China has not only put its excessive population growth under effective control, but also entered the stage of a low fertility rate.
Growing water demand, driven by population growth and foreign land and water acquisitions, are straining the Nile's natural limits.
