population will continue to grow for at least one generation. This occurs because even throw fertility rates have declined people are loving longer, resulting in the population continuing to grow for 20-40 years

epidemiological transition model

Predictable stages in disease and life expectancy that countries experience as they develop. Extension of the demographic transition model

the idea that population growth will outstrip the food supply, leading to inevitable crises like famine, disease, and war

a situation where the number of people in an area exceeds the environment's capacity to support them, leading to a strain on resources like food, water, and shelter

Suggested the more people there are, the more hands there are to work, rather than just more mouths to feed

they argue that population growth is a serious problem currently and an even greater threat than in the future

Antinatalist policies

policies that attempt to decrease the number of births in a country and are often used by developing countries

Programs designed to increase the fertility rate

Total fertility rate (TFR)

The average number of children who would be born per woman of that group in a country, assuming every woman lived through her childbearing years
