A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations.
Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population grow.
China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about half since 1970.
Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year 2000.
Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.

| Father's Day may be over in the United States, but animal dads are still hard at work. From penguins to catfish (鲶鱼), some animal-fathers play a big part in raising their babies. "Seahorses are possibly the best example of fathers caring for their young in the animal world," said Heather Mason Jones, a biologist at the University of Tampa in Florida. Human mothers carry their babies in their bodies for nine months. But seahorses are different. A female seahorse lays eggs and then puts them in a pouch on a male seahorse's belly (腹部), where the eggs stay until they hatch. Male seahorses aren't the only animal dads caring for eggs. The male hardhead catfish carries up to 48 marble-size eggs in his mouth for 60 days! He doesn't eat for the entire time. "You'd think it would be hard for them to give up a meal," said Ed Matheson, a fish expert at the Florida Marine Research Institute. Emperor penguins sit on eggs to hatch them during Antarctica's freezing winter. The males have to gather closely together for warmth and can lose half of their weight in the two months that it takes the baby penguins to hatch. Even mammal (哺乳动物) dads play a role in raising their young. The male South American marmoset (狨 猴) takes care of the baby in place of the mother a few weeks after she gives birth. So next Father's Day, remember the millions of dads hard at work in the animal kingdom! |
