The world's population is growing very fast. More than 7 billion people are living on the earth now. The number is still increasing.

Most of the growth is happening in developing countries. These countries have more children and a higher birth rate. In developed countries, the birth rate is low and the population is growing slowly or even not growing at all.

The growth of the population brings many problems. There is not enough food, water and housing for everyone. There are also more traffic jams and pollution.

To solve these problems, many countries are taking measures, such as controlling the birth rate and improving the living conditions.
