Trends in Population Growth

Why has the population been able to grow so quickly in such a short period of time?

• Doctors have developed easier and safer ways to have babies
• People needed more help to work their farms so they had more children
• Because people stayed in one place and only moved when crowded out
• Because of medical care, clean water and better access to nutritious food
