The continuous rise in the world's population is the greatest problem faced by humans at the present time. What are the causes of this continued rise? Do you agree that it is the greatest problem we are currently facing?

It is a commonly held belief that the rising

number

of human beings has become a serious issue in recent years. Some individuals worry about the harmful results

this

phenomenon is causing,

while

others think that any potential impact has been overstated. To some extent, I believe that the growing

number

of people will not be a considerable problem.

Firstly

, the innovation of medical contraception is causing the birth rate to plunge year by year. In order to maintain their living quality, there are more and more families who are choosing not to have many children. In fact, nowadays, most families choose to not have any children or merely to have one.

Secondly

, the improvements in gender equality have

also

helped to reduce the

number

of infants. Patriarchy is gradually disappearing and more women are able to have their own careers.

Hence

, lots of women choose not to pregnant recently.

However

, there are still some people claiming that the growth of population will cause the resources and food on the earth to run out eventually. In my perspective,

this

hypothesis is not true, because technology is continuously developing.

For example

, new sources of generating electricity are being developed in recent years,

such

as solar energy, and scientists are inventing various ways of using energy more efficiently.

In addition

to

this

, there are some countries where the population is declining,

such

as Japan, and

this

trend is likely to be more common. In conclusion, it is unnecessary to worry about the rising population. The

number

is not going to keep rising because people in many countries are having fewer children.

Moreover

, the development of technology provides new machines to help them finish the work.
