　　第三篇：关于人口问题的英语作文

　　The first fifty years of the next millennium will be critical for the world's population. By 2050 population growth should have leveled off, but by then we'll have 10 billion people--two-thirds as many again as we have today.The rate of population growth is something we can choose right now, though: it's not something that just happens, but a matter of human choice. The choice is a complicated one,with many variables, but it remains a choice.

　　If we want to prevent a population explosion, we should take action now -or assist the poorer countries to do so. They need better government, better institutions, better labor and capital markets, better schools.

　　Anything that increases the value of women's time and adds to the cost of caring for a child makes a woman less likely to have that child. Since big families are often seen as safety nets for illness and old age, improving poor people's access to insurance, pensions and welfare institutions also has a major impact. This can be as simple as rural credit, providing a means of saving. Finally, there is education--both for women and, perhaps even more important, for the next generation of children.

　　These steps are there to be taken, but there appear to be some countries that are not seriously trying at the moment. If we cannot achieve that we will certainly not control population.

　　That said, I don't feel pessimistic that we are going to run out of resources: we are becoming more efficient at producing food faster than the rate at which population is increasing. There is, however, a risk that we will wreck the environment so effectively that the world will no longer be an attractive place to live. That really would be a dismal outcome, to reach world population equilibrium only to find we'd destroyed the natural environment in the process.

　　第一个五十年的下一年世界人口将至关重要。到2050年人口增长应该趋于平稳,但那时我们将有100亿人——我们今天三分之二尽可能多的再次。人口的增长是我们可以选择现在,尽管:这不是刚好,但人类选择的问题。选择是一个复杂的,有许多变量,但它仍然是一个选择。

　　如果我们想避免人口爆炸,我们现在应该采取行动或者帮助贫穷国家。他们需要更好的政府,更好的制度,更好的劳动力和资本市场,更好的学校。

　　任何增加的价值,女性的时间和增加了的成本照顾一个孩子会让一个女人更不可能有孩子。自大家庭往往被视为安全网疾病和衰老,改善贫困人口获得保险、退休金和福利机构也有重大影响。这可以简单如农村信用,提供储蓄的一种手段。最后,还有教育,对于女性来说,也许更重要的是,对于下一代的孩子。

　　有采取这些步骤,但似乎有些国家不认真努力。如果我们不能实现,我们将肯定不是控制人口。

　　说,我不觉得悲观,我们将耗尽资源:我们正变得更有效地生产粮食的速度比人口增长的速度。然而,风险,我们将有效地破坏环境,世界将不再是一个吸引人居住的地方。这确实是一个可悲的结果,实现了人口的平衡却发现在这个过程中我们破坏了自然环境。
