14.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(摆动)dictatedbyclimate,foodsupply,disease,andwar.

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