9 Billion, dalam bahasa Indonesia: 9 Milyar! 9 diikuti 9 nol
dibelakangnya. WOW!!! Ada pakar pengendalian populasi tidak di milis
kita ini? Ini satu peluang bisnis yg bagus untuk mereka yg bergerak
dibidang jasa konsultasi. Topiknya: "Progam KB Dunia." Bukan cuma itu,
para produsen alat kontrasepsi pun punya masa depan yg sangat cerah
dengan adanya masalah ini. Ini juga akan membawa dampak ekonomi yg
positif kepada negara agraria karena permintaan getah karet jelas akan
bertambah dari industri alat kontrasepsi. Tentunya hal ini juga akan
sanagt menguntungkan para produsen bahan kimia di-negara2 maju, karena
alat kontrasepsi bukanlah satu2nya cara yg efektif dalam pengendalian
populasi. Sekian komentar saya, silahkan rekan2 lain menambahkan...

U.N.: World Population to Hit 9B in 2050

By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS - The world's population will increase by 40 percent to
9.1 billion in 2050, but virtually all the growth will be in the
developing world, especially in the 50 poorest countries, the U.N.
Population Division said.

In a report Thursday, the division said the population in less
developed countries is expected to swell from 5.3 billion today to 7.8
billion in 2050. By contrast, the population of richer developed
countries will remain mostly unchanged, at 1.2 billion.

"It is going to be a strain on the world," said Hania Zlotnik, the
division's new director. She said the expected growth will be
concentrated in countries that already struggle to provide adequate
shelter, health care and education.

The report reconfirmed many trends, including an increasingly aging
population in developed countries. But it said immigration would
prevent the overall population in richer countries from declining.

The United States is projected to be the major net recipient of
international migrants, 1.1 million annually, with its population
increasing from 298 million in 2005 to 394 million in 2050, the report
said.

Between 2005 and 2050, population growth in eight countries ? India,
Pakistan, Nigeria, Congo, Bangladesh, Uganda, the United States,
Ethiopia and China ? is likely to make up half the world's increase,
the report said.

Median fertility is expected to decline from 2.6 children per woman
today to slightly over 2 children per woman in 2050.

Zlotnik said India's population will surpass China's in the coming
decades because its fertility, currently at 3 children per woman, is
higher than China's, estimated at 1.7 children per woman.

In 2000-2005, fertility levels remained above 5 children per woman in
35 of the 148 developing countries, including 30 of the poorest
nations. The pace of decline in several countries in sub-Saharan
Africa and south Asia was slower than anticipated.

In southern Africa, the region with the highest AIDS (news - web
sites) prevalence, life expectancy has fallen from 62 years in 1995 to
48 years in 2000-2005, and is projected to decrease further to 43
years over the next decade before a slow recovery starts, it said.

Thoraya Obaid, executive director of the U.N. Population Fund, said
the new projections should spur more action to stop the spread of HIV
(news - web sites)/AIDS and help couples freely determine the size of
their families.

"We must take more urgent action to promote access to reproductive
health, including family planning, and fight HIV/AIDS to save millions
of lives from AIDS and maternal death, as well as to reduce poverty in
developing countries," she said in a statement.

In 2002 the Population Division had estimated global population in
2050 of 8.9 billion.
