Human Resources and Family in

Asia

In ancient times, there were four mainhindrances to population increase:

Famine - extreme food scarcity: a severe

shortage of food resulting in widespreadhunger

Pestilence - epidemic of disease: an

epidemic of a highly contagious or

infectious disease

Unsatisfactory nutrition and

environmental sanitation

wars

Famine

The problems relating to famine and

war are not completely resolved yet,

but the effective prevention ofillnesses leading to death and

widespread famine ,as well as the

availability of health centers andneeded medicines have significantly

lowered death rates.

In 1989, the overall world populationwas more or less 5.162 billion, of

which, 3.106 billion, was in Asia.Asias population increases at the

same rate as that of the world, which

is 1.6% annually. If this rate is maintained, the world

population will double every 44 years:by the year 2033, the 5.162 billion

total world population will be 10.324billion, and Asias 3.106 billion will be6.212 billion.

Though migration occurs in other

continents, migration in Asias portion

of the worlds population is more orless constant.

The reason for the high birth rate in

Asian countries is from thewidespread belief that people grow in

stature the more children they have.

In agricultural areas, many childrenare considered an asset since they

help in the familys major source of

livelihood

If the Asians were spread equally in

all parts of Asia, each square

kilometer of land would only have 70people.

However, because of extreme climatic

condition or the inability of the land tosustain any form of vegetation, certain

parts of the continent are uninhabited.

People flock to the cities for survival.(food, clothing, money, medicines, and

other human needs)

Because of the increase in the world

population while the correspondingland area does not increase to

accommodate more people.

It is feared that in the future, the earthcan no longer sustain human needs,

either in physical space or sources of

food. The rapid increase in population also

affects the family, which is the basic

unit of society.
