PopCo (Population-growth control)  This project is directed to all nations in the world. The objective is to reduce world population-growth from one percent today - one city of near to 190'000 people every day - to between zero and minus one percent by 2020. Population growth leads to the following problems:
This is Globwatch' policy on Population. Remember that with population growth is not only meant natural population (national citizens) increase, but also immigration growth albeit the latter must be regulated in such a manner as to ensure a region's demographic stability over the long run, which may as well call for strong immigration flows of younger demographic age-groups that counterbalance bell-shaped or aging demographic structures known in developed countries.

Please, have a look at the diagramm above. It basically explains how the international community could solve existing economic, environmental and social problems by so-to-say pressing the PopCo Button. The yellow area represents world population-growth, which stands at a yearly one percent today. Assuming Society enforced by law that world population-growth stood at zero percent by 2020, then look at the impact this could have on Disorder growth, as given here in apricot - see also Global Tension -. From 2010 to 2015, a transition to steadily slower growth of disorder would take place. As population growth continues to slow down, disorder growth would be declining into negative territory - see apricot area falling below zero -, causing a theoretical loss of disorder, or more order relative to disorder, which translates into fixing, instead of coping with problems. Meanwhile, Society would take advantage of a continued exponential growth of scientific knowledge - see blue surface -, that would allow for a quicker and better response to more complex economic, environmental and social problems. Germany's negative demographic-growth since 2006 - read StatWatch (2006-2008) here -, makes it a European PopCo-model. It is gw's understanding that the country will greatly benefit from a net population-loss over the next decade. Everything remaining equal, the country will better shore off the devastating effects of the 2008 Financial Crisis than other developed nations with opposing demographic-trends. |
