Population

The refusal of some religions to accept birth control and abortion. Religious and political leaders of minority groups often encourage greater populations of their own persuasions, the purpose to translate into more political or evangelical power.

Females consigned to duties of house wife and motherhood where the only means of identity substantiation and pride is the raising of children.

Progressive economics and capitalism wherein the increase of population growth in affect equates to the increase in markets. Capitalist and competitive economies require cheap labor and thus a surplus in population wherein their are more workers than jobs drives the wages down.

For the reasons listed above and more, population control will never be a reality devoid and separate from a centralized governmental social structure. Never has there been, with possibly the exception of some indigenous peoples, a government structured constitutionally upon the ecological laws of the natural world. In the Utopian model, population might be regulated constitutionally by a formula in which the population of any or all geographical areas, is regulated by methods of birth control to a fixed and specific number, by use of birth control methods, which is indexed to the degree to which the environment is to be used for resource, correspondent to an agreed upon standard of living.

The standard of living defined as Excess and Profit, relates to the size the of the population. The fewer the people the lower the standard. It takes more people to produce more goods and services. The greater the population and the greater the standard of living is the greater demand upon natural resources. If a greater standard of living is primary, then a greater population is necessary with the accordant environmental impact. If the the natural environment is primary, then the population is controlled to accord to some lesser standard of living and lesser environmental impact.
