The population of the Earth in 2013 reached 7 billion people, with a total planet area of 509 million km2.
The population is increasing by an average of 77 million people every year.
In underdeveloped countries, the fastest population growth rates . Every year there are more and more poor, hungry and poorly educated people. Now the population of the Earth, which is starving, is 925 million people. According to analysts, in a couple of decades, the world will be overwhelmed by mass hunger and poverty. All this will happen if the states of the entire planet do not unite to solve the long-term problems of the world economy.
How could a civilization so powerful and developed come to these terrifying numbers? The world seems to be divided into two castes - white and black, life in poverty or in abundance. Dear reader, you can refute the figures of the percentage of beggars and say that Russia also has people in need (more than 55% of the population of Russia live on a wage less than 13t.r.), but let me compare with many countries where water is valued above gold and a piece of bread - exorbitant luxury.
What is the reason for such a shortage of resources?
After World War II, civilization took a new path - a market economy began to rule society. All capitals are thrown to increase income. The Earth now seems to spin in two orbits - the Sun and the Dollar. All citizens of civilized countries breathe the motives of success, gold and prosperity. Everyone is taught success, not kindness. No one thinks how many people on Earth die of hunger.
In 1987, the population reached five billion, and in honor of this, July 11th was declared World Population Day. Every year on this day, the results of the population growth of the Earth are summed up.
All economically stable states should help poor countries and keep full records in order to clearly understand how much the world's population needs help. Food should be distributed, economic centers and educational institutions built where there is an urgent need.
In some countries, people die from a lack of food, while in others they struggle with gluttony and overweight. Hungry people only dream of living abroad. Over the past 50 years, the flow of migrants to economically developed countries has increased . Not all visitors are ready to live according to the rules of the new state, there are clashes with local residents and conflicts on the basis of religion or tradition. What the population of the Earth will be in half a century depends on the common efforts of all states.
The government of all leading countries should have a clear understanding that a problem that seemed distant has already come to all countries of the world, including Russia.
And what about Russia?
For fifteen years, the population of Russia has decreased by 12.5 million people. Experts predict that over the next fifteen years, there will be an additional eleven million less people. Such a figure certainly looks depressing. Partly the situation is saved by migrants who go to Russia in search of a better life.
To change the perspective of Russia, it is necessary to change the cultural and family values of the whole people. So far, the picture is depressing: about 60% of divorces, many live below the poverty line, alcoholism and crime, same-sex love - all this as a “scythe” cuts off the lives of young people and unborn children.
Material assistance to young couples, discounts on medicines, changes in medical care, places in kindergartens, free sports centers - all this can fundamentally change the situation in the country if it goes into the budget. The entire population of the Earth believes in a brighter future.
