Location

This issue is occurring in mostly all of China right now. Since it is so overpopulated in China it is hard to walk in the streets, and to get on and off the train to go to work or something. It is also very dangerous riding the trains in China.

Development

·1950’s and 1960’s Healthcare pulled death rate down while births continued to rise
·1970’s Birth control measures were promoted
·1980’s One child policy went with the coming of age of the "baby boom" generation
·2003 1,307.6 million people
·2010 1.4 billion
·2030 China's population is expected to peak and then slowly start dropping
China has been changing over time by its growing population. It’s supposed to start slowly dropping in the late 2030’s.

Impact

Because of how overpopulated China is many of resources are being over used which will not leave many for the next generations. Many of people do not have jobs because there are to many people. The Government will have to provide many of more jobs over the years, and import more foods and goods. Most people are not getting as much as they need and are always surrounded by people.

• Resources
• Enough jobs
• Enough food to eat

Future

In 2030 the population is predicted to be 1.46 billion, and 16% percent of Chinese citizens will be less than 65 years old. By 2045 more than 60% of Chinas Population will have secondary education. China is trying to slow the population down by having a one child policy.

Big Picture

The ethnicity of the Chinese people may think that it is good to have many of kids, or a tradition to have a big family. The best theme that goes with the overpopulation in China is population growth because the number of people in China is growing about every day.
