Population growth doesn't affect the environment, women's status and create poverty?

Answer 1

There is a strong correlation between population growth women's status and poverty. Many think the causality goes the other way. That is women's status effects population growth and therefore poverty and the environment. Women who are free to choose have fewer children, and take better care of them, producing a more productive work force.

Answer 2

Population growth affects the environment obviously but it does not create poverty.

Social inequality and economic inequality is what changes women's status and makes poverty.

Answer 3

You'll find "optimists"(ostriches) who deride the notion that population growth should be limited. but I don't understand how they can ignore the FACT that sooner or later, too many people means less and less resources and that this must end in massive human death. Will we reach the point of no return tomorrow, in 100 yrs. I'm afraid I don't know.

Answer 4

population growth affects everything hun, not just women, and status and poverty, its social and economical influences as well..
