what nursing students can do to help reduce the growth of population?

Question

How do nurses get involved in population reduction?

Answer 1

I guess one of the important questions you have to ask yourself is why is the population growing. Unlike in the past, it is not because of an increasing birth rate. The population continues to grow more today because of the increased life span of individuals. Look at it this way, in years past, there were close to twenty workers for each retiree. Now, there is significantly less than half of that, indicating either that the number of retirees is growing or the number of workers is shrinking. Since population is growing, the number of workers is not shrinking that much, which means more retirees are around. So really, if you want to control population growth, you have to figure out how to make these retirees not live as long. Trying to decrease the birth rate even further will simply exacerbate the problem.

Either way, trying to control the growth of population is silly. In the last century, large families were the norm. Now, large families are not the norm. Smaller families are. People are rational and will do their best to keep their families, which drive population, to a size that they can support.

educating others and handing out condoms for free.
