But during the past 10 years or so, there has been a large and fast fall in the world's birth rate. Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries like China and India and developed countries like America and England. Some families don't want to have more babies because they believe that it's difficult for them to raise two or more children. China is such a country that cut its rate of population growth from 1970. Most Chinese families are encouraged(鼓励) to have fewer children. The one-child policy ended at the end of 2015. And in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws(法律) to allow families to have three babies, because of the increasing number of old people and the shortage(短缺) of people to work in some factories. Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. It's said that these countries could face fewer workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes(税) to help the growing number of retirees. ( C )1. What will the world population reach in 2025? A． 13. 7 billion. B． 13. 4 billion. C． 8. 4 billion.
