Annotated Bibliography Arunachalam, S. (2000). Human population growth. PMCID: PMC1117552, 1-5. This article includes three sub-headings, and these three are essential to note about the population growth in the current era. These three parts of this research article, the first is human population growth that talks about the difference and bias of developed and advanced countries when it comes to supporting the world. I will use this part of the research article to make assumptions about developed countries or to make a difference between developed and developing countries about their population. In the second part, "the population issues are not satisfactory." I would use this statement to raise the question, how population growth is an issue, and what areas of life are affected by population growth. And the third one of the most important is "China's one-child policy" I will use this research that how the one-child policy is failing to claim that the population growth problem requires authentic laws and efficient enforcements. Baldini, R. (2015). The Importance of Population Growth and Regulation in Human Life History Evolution. PLOS ONE, https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0119789. My selected topic for research is "Population Growth" thus, this article above would help me to arrange the basis for my research article. The article talks about the evolution of the human population and human life history. This research article marks long juvenile history and, through figurative analysis, helps me to understand population trends over history. The research article with the presentation of numerical tests analyses how the population maximizes in history and still growing at a constant rate. A test is used to conclude that population growth is independent of density independence. I can use performed tests in this article to my research study and can pick terms like population is increasing since decades and the rate is independent of population Diversity. I will also support conclusions made in this article that the human population is expanding and regulated from history and then relate this rate of population growth with the current rate to analyze the gap. Peterson, E. W. (2017). The Role of Population in Economic Growth. SAGE Journals, https://doi.org/10.1177%2F2158244017736094. This article presents statistical data on how population growth is linked with economic growth. This research article will help me to state a vital part of my research because population growth impacts directly on economic growth. The report presents data from the last 200 years and says how population growth in developing countries negatively affects their economic growth and low population growth in developed countries affecting their economy. The article talks about numerous solutions that could solve the problems of both developed and developing countries like migration can create a balance, but few developed countries banned immigration towards their country. Population growth is a negative sign that brings many problems like shortage of resources, inadequate or paralyzed development, and many more. I will use this article to state the link between economic development and population growth. The article also states the method of measurement of a country's economic growth and population growth. Pimental, D. (1998). Population Growth and The Environment: Planetary Stewardship. Electronic Green Journal, 1(9), 2-11. The above research article talks about the relationship between population growth and its impact on the environment. According to this, the research article world population is increasing with a rate of 1.5% per year, and if the price remained the same, the world would have to face dangerous outcomes. The article presents research data that shows the harmful effects of population growth on the environment. For example, for housing purposes, trees are cut that affect the raining schedule every year. On the other side, 99% of the world's food supply comes from the land, and an increase in the human population deplete these resources to fulfill their demands. The article also talks about the role of technology in meeting with the needs of a growing population, but the technology is also harmful to the environment. I will use this article in my research paper to show the link between the ever-increasing human population and environmental degradation. A growing population cannot be beneficial for the environment. I think this one is an important thing to discuss when considering building a human population. Walker, R. J. (2016). Population Growth and its Implications for Global Security. Wiley Online Library, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ajes.12161. This research article is discussing an essential part of the growing population that I think would be a necessary part of my research paper too. It is an obvious thing that a growing population affects the world in numerous ways, confront us with thousands of new challenges. This article studies who is responsible for population growth, whether developing or developed countries. And like the question, the answer is also simple; developing countries are responsible for the rapidly growing population. Estimations showed that from 2015-2050 the world population is subjected to increase by 9.8 billion, which is 97%. The article also discussed how an increase in population brings thousands of challenges in developing countries like hunger, poverty, fragility, economic breakdown, environmental degradation, and much more. I will use this article to conclude my research paper and add negative aspects of a growing population. I will use this source in my research because I think after thinking about these problems, we can suggest some solutions to control the ever-increasing population.
