19.WorldPopulationGrowthandDistribution

TheUnitedNations,anacceptedauthorityonpopulationlevelsandtrends,estimatesthattheworldpopulationreached6billionin1999,andisincreasingannuallybymorethan77millionpersons.Therateofincrease,1.3percentperyear,hasfallenbelowthepeakrateof2percentperyearattainedby1970.Bythelate2040s,theUNestimates,thegrowthratewillhavefallentoabout0.64percentannually,atwhichtimemorethan50countrieswillexperiencenegativegrowth.

A.PastandPresentGrowth

Estimatesofworldpopulationbefore1900arebasedonfragmentary(零散的)data,butscholarsagreethat,formostofhumanexistence,long-runaveragepopulationgrowthapproachedapproximately0.002percentperyear,or20permillioninhabitants.AccordingtoUNestimates,thepopulationoftheworldwasabout300millionintheyearAD1,andittookmorethan1,500yearstoreachthe500millionmark.Growthwasnotsteadybutwasmarkedbyoscillations(擺動)dictatedbyclimate,foodsupply,disease,andwar.

Startinginthe17thcentury,greatadvancesinscientificknowledge,agriculture,industry,medicine,andsocialorganizationmadepossiblerapidaccelerationinpopulationgrowth.Machinesgraduallyreplacedhumanandanimallabor.Peopleslowlyacquiredtheknowledgeandmeanstocontroldisease.By1900theworldpopulationhadreached1.65billion,andby1960itstoodat3.04billion.

Beginningabout1950,anewphaseofpopulationgrowthwasusheredinwhenfamineanddiseasecouldbecontrolledeveninareasthathadnotyetattainedahighdegreeofliteracyoratechnologicallydevelopedindustrialsociety.Thishappenedasaresultofthemodestcostofimportingthevaccines(疫苗),antibiotics,insecticides,andhigh-yieldingvarietiesofseedsproducedsincethe1950s.Withimprovementsinwatersupplies,sewage-disposalfacilities,andtransportationnetworks,agriculturalyieldsincreased,anddeathsfrominfectiousandparasiticdiseasesgreatlydeclined.Lifeexpectancyatbirthinmostdevelopingcountriesincreasedfromabout35～40yearsin1950to66yearsby2000.Therapiddeclineindeathsamongpeoplewhomaintainedgenerallyhighfertilityratesledtoannualpopulationgrowththatexceeded3.1percentinmanydevelopingnationsa--ratethatdoublespopulationsizein23years.

B.RegionalDistribution

Asof2000,1.2billionpeoplelivedinthedevelopednationsoftheworld,and4.9billionpeoplelivedintheless-developedcountries.Byregion,overhalftheworld'spopulationwasinEastandSouthAsia;China,with1.3billioninhabitants,andIndia,withsome1billion,werethedominantcontributors.EuropeandthecountriesoftheformerUSSRcontained14percent,NorthandSouthAmericamadeup14percent,Africahad13percent,andthePacificIslandshadabout1percentofworldpopulation.
