Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.

In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas.

A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with 1, 147 persons per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low -productivity manual

farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries practice mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living.

At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming; these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations.

High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally mral societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth.

(From "Poverty" by Thomas J. Corbett)

A. there is lack of mechanization

B. there are small numbers of laborers

A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low - productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country's extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries practise mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living.

At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practise manual subsistence farming; these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United Slates has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world's wealthiest nations.

High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many poor families because the provide labour, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries lend to have high rates of population growth.

Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. High Birth Rate and its Consequences

B. Overpopulation; A Cause of Poverty

C. Overpopulation: A Worldwide Problem

D. Poverty in Developing Countries

Tạm dịch

Bùng nổ dân số, tình trạng có rất nhiều người trong khi có quá ít tài nguyên và không gian, gắn liền với đói nghèo. Nó có thể là kết quả của mật độ dân số cao, hoặc từ các nguồn tài nguyên ít ỏi, hoặc từ cả hai. Mật độ dân số tăng cao đặt áp lực lên các nguồn lực sẵn có. Chỉ có một số người nhất định có thể được hỗ trợ trên một diện tích đất nhất định và số đó phụ thuộc vào lượng thức ăn và các nguồn tài nguyên khác mà đất có thể cung cấp. Ở những quốc gia mà người dân sống chủ yếu bằng phương pháp canh tác đơn giản, làm vườn, chăn thả gia súc, săn bắt và thu hái, thậm chí điện tích đất rộng chỉ có thể hỗ trợ cho một số lượng nhỏ người dân bởi vì các hoạt động sản xuất cần nhiều lao động này chỉ sản xuất một lượng nhỏ lương thực.

Ở các nước phát triển như Hoa Kỳ, Nhật Bản, và các nước Tây Âu, bùng nổ dân số thường không được coi là nguyên nhân chính của đói nghèo. Các nước này sản xuất số lượng lớn thực phẩm thông qua nông nghiệp cơ giới hóa, phụ thuộc vào phân bón thương mại, thủy lợi quy mô lớn và máy móc nông nghiệp. Hình thức sản xuất này cung cấp đủ thức ăn để hỗ trợ mật độ cao của người dân ở các khu vực đô thị.

Mức nghèo đói của một quốc gia có thể phụ thuộc rất nhiều vào việc kết hợp mật độ dân số và năng suất nông nghiệp. Ví dụ, Bangladesh là một trong những mật độ dân số cao nhất thế giới, với 1.147 người trên mỗi km vuông. Đa số người Bangladesh tham gia vào sản xuất nông nghiệp thủ công năng suất thấp, khiến cho mức nghèo đói của đất nước này rất cao. Một số nước nhỏ hơn ở Tây Âu, như Hà Lan và Bỉ, có mật độ dân số cao. Các nước này thực hiện nông nghiệp cơ giới hóa và tham gia vào các ngành công nghệ cao, tuy nhiên, và do đó có mức sống cao.

Ở đầu cuối của quang phổ, nhiều quốc gia ở châu Phi Vang ha Sahara có mật độ dân số dưới 30 người trên mỗi km vuông. Nhiều người ở những nước này thực hiện canh tác tự cung tự cấp; những nước này cũng có đất đai kém cỏi, thiếu nguồn lực kinh tế và công nghệ để tăng năng suất. Hậu quả là các quốc gia này rất nghèo. Hoa Kỳ có mật độ dân số tương đối thấp và năng suất nông nghiệp cao; nó là một trong những quốc gia giàu có nhất thế giới.

Tỷ lệ sinh cao làm tăng dân số ở nhiều nước đang phat triển. Trẻ em là tài sản của nhiều gia đình nghèo vì họ cung cấp lao động, thường là cho nông nghiệp. Các chuẩn mực văn hoá trong các xã hội truyền thống ở nông thôn thường tuân theo giá trị của các gia đình lớn. Ngoài ra, các chính phủ của các nước đang phát triển thường cung cấp ít hoặc không hỗ trợ, tài chính hay chính trị cho kế hoạch hóa gia đình; ngay cả những người muốn giữ cho gia đình họ ít con cũng gặp khó khăn trong việc làm việc đó. Vì tất cả những lý do này, các nước đang phat triển có xu hướng có tỷ lệ tăng dân số cao.
