The world's population has increased dramatically in recent centuries. Several factors have contributed to this growth. Modern technology has helped food production to increase. Improved medical care, meanwhile, has enabled people to live much longer. The overwhelming growth rate poses a special problem for poorer countries and poses a difficult challenge for the world as a whole.
