The Battle of the Billionaires

      The Battle of the Billionaires: China Vs. India                 

1. We should care about the population in India because India's population is growing more than twice as fast as China's. Both China and India have significantly more males than females, in contrast to other nations. China and India will have older structures in the coming years. China's population is supposed to increase around the year 2032 and then slowly decrease.

2. When the government forces families in India and China to be smaller I think that is okay only because some of the families can't afford to feed a big family. The government is right and wrong for doing this. It is right because the countries don’t have enough food to give each family big amount. So if the family is smaller the family will each get more food then you did before with a big family. If your family is bigger you won’t get a larger portion of food, supplies to build a house, and also things to keep you warm. Sometimes families are larger than 3 to 4 a family. But that also makes it harder for them to survive.
