The population of the world has been increasing faster and faster In 10,000 B.C, there were

probably only 10 million people In A.D 1, there were 300 million It took 1,750 years for the World population to reach 625 million In 1850, only one hundred years later, the population reached the figure of 1,300 million In 1950, the figure had more than doubled to reach 2,510 million In 2000, the world’s population was about 6,6 billion and by

2015 it is expected to be over 7 billion

World woman has more children than she wants Among the women tho do not think they have too many children, hafl of them do not want any more However, although millions of women want to limit the size of their families, they know of no safe

way to have fewer children Safe birth – control

organisations did something to help them so that the world population growth can start to decrease instead of continuing to increase
