The rate of population growth is
fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birth rate is
accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public
health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced
death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however,
population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have
determined the size of their families ac-cording to the cultural values of their
societies. Population control has long been a subject of
discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is
limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and
the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given
amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with
a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population
gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and
railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to
justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will
not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a
large population. One of the difficulties in implementing birth
control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary
from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large
population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural
re-sources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the
birth rate. In a well-developed society the problem may be more complex. A
declining birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking
market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a
shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going
to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population
on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.
Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country
may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is
stable or in decline.
