WORLD(1991 – 2021-01)

Rapid population growth is defined as a

significant increase in a population over a short

been taking place for several decades and
continues to be a concern today.

unprecedented rate, with the number of people on the
planet doubling in the last 50 years.

The current world population is over 7.9 billion and is

projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
Local View

growth in recent decades. As of 2021, the
population of the Philippines is over 108 million.

 However, it's worth noting that these are just a few examples, and the specific
approach that a country takes to address rapid population growth will depend on
a variety of factors, including its cultural, economic, and political context.
Additionally, it's important to consider the potential negative consequences of
population control policies, such as human rights violations and unintended
consequences on the society.

For generalization, addressing rapid population growth is a complex issue that
requires a multifaceted approach, and individuals can play a significant role in
supporting efforts to slow population growth through their own actions and by
raising awareness and advocating for change.
