NP Rank:
Would population increase be a world risk?
Resources are limited and given limited resources sharing of limited resources as as population increases would, of course, be a risk. But given education to all and building evolutionary capital, I don’t think population would be a risk as each individuals can create, invent, innovate and produce more than what suffices to them. If population increase was a risk, China would have been fallen in huge risk though China has limited the birth rate.
One may argue that given education, there are millions of unemployed people. That is but due to maladministration. If resources (including people) are properly allocated, there would be no unemployment. By employment I mean including self-employment.
When we see from religious angle, God does not create people without bread and people’s bread is determined early at creation in the womb. Therefore, man should not worry by increase in population in fear of limited resources. Rather it is important to worry about good governance, resource allocation and education which enables people to create, work and live.
