Population

1 The world's population continuesto grow.There now are about 5 billion of us on earth.The figure could reach 6billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years.Expertshave long been concerned about such a growth.Where will we find the food,water,jobs,houses,schools and health care for all these people?

2 A major new study shows that thesituation may be changing.A large and rapid drop in the world's birth rate hastaken place during the past 10 years.Families generally are smaller now thanthey were a few years ago.It is happening in both developing and industrialnations.

3 Researchers said they found anumber of reasons for this.More men and women are waiting longer to getmarried and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay（延迟）pregnancy（怀孕）.More women are going to schoolor working at jobs away from home instead of having children.And moregovernments,especially in developing nations,now support family planningprograms to reduce population growth.

4 China is one of the nations thathave made great progress in reducing its population growth.China has alreadycut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970.

5 Each Chinese family is now urgedto have no more than one child.And the hope is to reach a zero populationgrowth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths,bythe year 2000.

6 Several nations in Europealready have fewer births than deaths.Experts said that these nations couldface a serious shortage of workers in the future.And the persons who areworking could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number ofretired people.
