The Seven Billionth Child

What is the future of this seven billionth child?

The seven billionth child is here. The clock has stopped ticking. Past midnight on October 31, the symbolic seven billionth child was born into some mega spotlights. This time, the UN refrained from declaring one baby as the seven billionth child. Each country declared its own symbolic seven billionth baby. The world's population has now reached seven billion and October 31 was declared by the UN Population Fund as the Seven Billion Day with a campaign to do "seven billion actions".

The question intriguing many is: What is the future of this seven billionth child?

Some echo the thinking of the executive director of the UNFPA, Babatunde Osotimehin, who in a recent talk at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies stressed that the "problems stemming from population growth are actually issues of consumption, distribution, and equity, not necessarily intrinsic to the number of people alone." Others like Harnia Zlotnik, Director of the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, warn that "it is very important for the future of humanity that the young people of today have on average fewer children than their parents did."

There are divergent views around the population issue. Some support population control. Others, development equity. Whatever view each one espouses, the fact is we are now seven billion in this planet earth. Something has to be done NOW.

Many countries have now declared their seven billionth child

What is the future of the seven billionth child in this area?

This is where 61 per cent of the world's population live. However, while some of the countries in the region have registered high birth rates, others have already reached the developed world's birth rate level. This is true of Japan, Korea and China where Shanghai has the lowest birth rate of the world's biggest cities.

Who will this seven billionth child be?

This child will look like of these

Stuffed and Starved

Will the food chain and the supply chain ever merge?

Will the seven billionth baby be stuffed or starved? The consumption in some developed countries is certainly a problem for the world's population. While some are stuffed, many are starved. The international aid agencies have done much work in alleviating this gross inequality but much still needs to be done. Get this book to understand the issue better.

Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System

Amazon Price: $12.06 (as of 02/23/2012)Buy Now

You may not agree with all that the author says in this book but you will certainly have a clear idea of how our food reaches our table - from farmer to fork. Also, the role of middlemen and the corporate world sculpting our taste for food. Understanding this food chain better can lead us to make better and informed choices around the food we buy. It is full of information but also of stories of how other people deal with this issue or how they are affected by it.

The seven billionth child in Africa?

Read on Africa's population

For the seven billionth child born in Africa, the opportunities will be limited especially when it is in countries where development has really lagged. In those countries, chances are this baby will have several siblings and have to share whatever resources there are in the family with several others. Because of this, the baby's health and education will receive fewer resources than those symbolic seven billionth babies born in more developed parts of the world.

Of course, this is a generalization because in many countries in Africa, most especially in South Africa, children of affluent families enjoy similar privileges and opportunities that children in the developed world have. This is true even in developed countries. The poor will always have less opportunities than the rich. The difference is in the availability of access to these opportunities. In some countries, such access is affected by race, gender and resources.

What future will this seven billionth child have?

Rosy or bleak?

This will largely depend on where the baby is born and whether it's male or female! If this baby is a bright little male born in the developed world, then, the future probably will be rosy as the opportunities will be there. If this baby, however, is born a little girl in the less developed part of the world, the opportunities might be rather nasty.

Overall, however, this symbolic seven billionth baby has a better chance to live beyond 5 years and at getting an education than its parents had. On the other hand, those symbolic seven billionth babies born in a country where girls are somewhere between the family dog and Grandpa's camel, then the future is probably bleak.

The population in many countries is getting younger and younger and the job market is saddled with a young population that is scrambling to find employment. However, they are also new consumers, so if the economies can overcome the greed of American bankers and the looniness of European politicians, they'll pay for all our pensions, have decent lives and consume like crazy to keep the economies perking. . it's not a zero sum game. Countries with too few young people such as Japan or Russia, are in the deepest possible demographic doodoo.

To succeed, these babies will certainly need resources that remote areas and farms in poor countries can't provide as the new work place demands new skills and a capacity for lateral thinking with a real breadth of experience. Chances are this baby will migrate to neighboring countries to handle the jobs their own population hate to do. But if born in a developed world, she can learn the skills not only to survive but lead the change and profit from it.

BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are sprouting while PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain) and a few sucklings, are falling off the truck. Job opportunities seem to be shifting as well as development takes place more rapidly in other parts of the world. The West is not slowing down, others are just catching up and that really improves the chances of number 7 billion having an opportunity at a decent life.

As Thomas Friedman says, this world is now flat, hot and crowded. This is the world that just welcomed this seven billionth baby.

The World Population Boom

A Boon or a Curse?

In just the past 12 years, the world has added a billion people. Some countries where population has dropped, governments are giving incentives for newborns. They are concerned that by 2050, they will be burdened with so many older retired people to support with very few younger ones supporting them. But in many countries where often the resources are limited, the population keeps climbing,putting pressure on the already stressed infrastructure. We have seen its impact on the environment, health and education. Yet, these countries hope that these increasing young population will fuel the economy with much needed workers and consumers. And the bigger the market, the attraction to investors is higher. What do you think?

Is the boom in world population a boon or a curse?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

A boon certainly

ohcaroline says:

I don't consider it a curse...so I say it's a boon. God knew we would be at this place at this time. He's big enough to handle it.

sherridan says:

God said to go forth and fill the earth. I guess it will be down to him what happens then!

BunnyFabulous says:

Somewhere in between

cffutah says:

its a blessing to live, its a great time to be alive.

Tolovaj says:

It is pretty certain at about 2050 trend will reverse and world population will start to decline. It already happened in Europe, North America, Japan and some other well developed regions so with better health care and higher life standard this will happen everywhere (it is already happening in North Africa). So we should be happy for every new child:)

Really a curse

Tiggered says:

Do you know what happens when lemmings become too numerous? The more of us there is, the bigger the likelihood of some large scale disaster to regulate population.
It's my personal opinion, but I think life in itself is not such a valuable gift if you don't have means to live with dignity.

skiesgreen says:

One day humans will wake up to the horror that children born today will face from starvation, pollution, lack of resources and space.

sousababy says:

It could be a boon, unfortunately in some areas of the world the practice of sex selection will most likely make the imbalance between boys and girls problematic. Historically whenever males outnumber females by fairly large proportions, there is a rise in human trafficking, violence, abuse and even war. We CAN turn this thing around, but it's a matter of educating areas of the world where only males have the majority of privilege and power.

creativeinc says:

It is not good for the environment. It is painful to see many babies suffer!

The Seven Billionth Baby

Marks the Big Demographic Shift?

The birth of the seven billionth baby could still be a landmark of a demographic shift. There are currently 75 countries in the world with very low population growth rate. And for these countries, it is very difficult to stop or reverse the trend. Japan is now birthing less than what it is losing and Korea's growth rate is a meager 1.1%. The trend has reversed in many countries now that hope is getting stronger for the world to finally manage its population growth. There are, however, still challenges in distribution of resources and the heightened consumerism destroying most of today's resources. The hype on the seven billionth child may hopefully fuel once more the much needed discussion on the issues around world population.

Population Decline

It has its own social consequences

This book shares of Japan's declining population which is now getting to be the trend in many countries. This details the consequences of the decline to society.
