In class today we discussed birthrates and immigration. With birthrates, obviously the population is growing. It is estimated that an average of 353,000 children are born per day. Every say four years, the world's popular will rise by about a billion people. As of right now, we have about seven billion people, with possibly being that in 2017 we will have added another billion.
Another discussion topic was immigration. Immigration is a big thing in some places. For example, in the United States people will hire foreigners because they are known to work harder than an average American. Most people will hire foreigners for lower class jobs that pay less that others wouldn't want to do themselves. This helps the economy and businesses, being that immigrants are in the United States with them supporting local businesses by buying their groceries and such. Whether they are illegal or not, this gives a big increase of the population.
