Because of China's high population if there ever is a shortage of food or water it can kill millions of people. China is trying to get zero population growth. ]]> 2016-04-18 17:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/106373583 20theshiprosalesr https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/106376432 The leader in 1949 - 1976 Mao Zedong raised the population by making woman to have 4-5 children. He made a program called " The Great Leap Forward" This program raised the production of steel and food. He made everyone install backyard furnaces and melt the metal items they had. They made their farms into big companies, this lead to starvation because of the rapid population growth the new generations weren't getting food. After Mao died the government took action with the "one-child policy" so the population would lower. The one child policy reduced the need of water and food. The policy isn't working everywhere in some rural areas it's a tradition to have large families. ]]> 2016-04-18 17:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/106376432 20theshiprosalesr https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/106380263  Because of their high population they need a lot of energy, China has power plants that burn coal , the smoke from China carries toxins and can reach places in the US like California.

Mao wanted China to be self-sufficient, they weren't open to business people from other countries. After the "Great Leap Forward" Mao made another called 'cultural revolution" this was made to make a new society and follow everything he said and his ideas. ]]> 2016-04-18 18:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/106391167 20theshiprosalesr https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/107045741 The map below shows the increase of population around the world. "The populations of the 50 poorest countries will double by 2050". Countries are spending more money into health care, this allows parents to worry less about their children dieing. If you slow down your natural increase which mean lowering the amount of people dieing and being born each year then countries will get wealthier. If there is less children they can educate everyone and get more money for health care. ]]> 2016-04-21 15:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/107045741 20theshiprosalesr https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/107049705 http://www.everythingconnects.org/overpopulation-solutions.html]]> 2016-04-21 16:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/107049705 20theshiprosalesr https://padlet.com/20theshiprosalesr/Reed30/wish/107050451

"By 2050 the population of the 50 poorest countries will double" this means that the population wont have everyone educated. The less people in your country the wealthier it is, you can get everyone educated in the country and everyone will be healthy. The healthier the country is the more business opportunities they get.
