The world population has reached 7 billion and is growing.The bulk of the masses are in Asia and Africa.The vast land spaces of America,Europe,Australia and Antarctica remain underpopulated.The affluent minority is consuming the bulk of the world's natural resources while the vast majority remains impoverished,starving,illiterate and without medical care.Nearly 5 million children below the age of 5 die every year in India due to starvation and lack of medicines.
The global population has reached a critical point and further increases can only aggravate the numerous problems existing today.It is putting tremendous burden on the fragile eco-system.Forest cover is decreasing endangering the flora and fauna of the earth.
Female literacy is the key to population control in Asia and Africa.Presently women have little say in deciding the size of the family but with education,they will definitely be a force to be reckoned with.
