10/21 Human Population Dynamics AP

The current world population is estimated to be over 7 billion. At present, the number of births annually exceeds the number of deaths, which means that the population is increasing, and is estimated to reach
9 billion by 2040. In 1750 the world population was estimated at less than 800 million. How are growing populations such as ours controlled and supported, and can they continue to grow indefinitely?
