The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

=== Thomas McKeown hypotheses ===

Some of the reasons for the "Modern Rise of Population"<ref name=":12">{{Cite book|title=The Modern Rise of Population|last=McKeown|first=Thomas|publisher=Edward Arnold|year=1976|isbn=9780713159868|location=London, UK}}</ref> were particularly investigated by the British health scientist [[Thomas McKeown (physician)|Thomas McKeown]] (1912–1988). In his publications, McKeown challenged four theories about the population growth:

# McKeown stated that the growth in Western population, particularly surging in the 19th century, was not so much caused by an increase in [[fertility]], but largely by a decline of [[Mortality rate|mortality]] particularly of childhood mortality followed by [[infant mortality]],<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal|vauthors=McKeown T, Brown RG |date=1955|title=Medical evidence related to English population changes in the eighteenth century|journal=Population Studies|volume=9|issue=2|pages=119–141|doi=10.1080/00324728.1955.10404688|jstor=2172162}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|vauthors=McKeown T, Brown RG, Record RG |date=1972|title=An interpretation of the modern rise of population in Europe|journal=Population Studies |volume=26 |issue=3|pages=345–382|doi=10.1080/00324728.1972.10405908|jstor=2173815|pmid=11630563}}</ref>
# The decline of mortality could largely be attributed to rising standards of living, whereby McKeown put most emphasis on improved nutritional status,
# McKeown questioned the effectiveness of public health measures, including sanitary reforms, vaccination and quarantine,<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|vauthors=McKeown T, Record RG |date=1962

 |doi=10.2307/2173119|jstor=2173119}}</ref>
# The “McKeown thesis" states that [[curative medicine]] measures played little role in mortality decline, not only prior to the mid-20th century<ref name=":02" /> but also until well into the 20th century.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|vauthors=McKeown T, Record RG, Turner RD |date=1975

Although the McKeown thesis has been heavily disputed, recent studies have confirmed the value of his ideas.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Korotayev |first1=A. V. |last2=Malkov |first2=A. S. |year=2016 |url=https://www.academia.edu/35548090 |title=Compact Mathematical Model of the World System Economic and Demographic Growth, 1 CE–1973 CE |journal=International Journal of Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences |volume=10 |pages=200–209}}</ref> His work is pivotal for present day thinking about population growth, birth control, public health and medical care. McKeown had a major influence on many population researchers, such as health economists and Nobel prize winners [[Robert Fogel|Robert W. Fogel]] (1993) and [[Angus Deaton]] (2015). The latter considered McKeown as "the founder of [[social medicine]]".<ref name=":14">{{Cite book|title=The Great Escape.

==Growth rate models==
The "population growth rate" is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period, expressed as a fraction of the initial population. Specifically, population growth rate refers to the change in population over a unit time period, often expressed as a percentage of the number of individuals in the population at the beginning of that period. This can be written as the formula, valid for a sufficiently small time interval:

:<math>Population\ growth\ rate = \frac{ P(t_2)  -  P(t_1)} {P(t_1)(t_2-t_1)}</math>

A positive growth rate indicates that the population is increasing, while a negative growth rate indicates that the population is decreasing. A growth ratio of zero indicates that there were the same number of individuals at the beginning and end of the period—a growth rate may be zero even when there are significant changes in the [[birth rate]]s, [[death rate]]s, [[immigration rate]]s, and age distribution between the two times.<ref>[http://www.apheo.ca/index.php?pid=61 Association of Public Health Epidemiologists in Ontario] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080522092307/http://www.apheo.ca/index.php?pid=61 |date=22 May 2008 }}</ref>

A related measure is the [[net reproduction rate]]. In the absence of migration, a net reproduction rate of more than 1 indicates that the population of females is increasing, while a net reproduction rate less than one ([[sub-replacement fertility]]) indicates that the population of females is decreasing.

Most populations do not grow exponentially, rather they follow a [[Logistic function|logistic model]]. Once the population has reached its [[carrying capacity]], it will stabilize and the exponential curve will level off towards the carrying capacity, which is usually when a population has depleted most its [[natural resource]]s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Campbell Biology|last1=Reece|first1=Jane|last2=Urry|first2=Lisa|last3=Cain|first3=Michael|last4=Wasserman|first4=Steven|last5=Minorsky|first5=Peter|last6=Jackson|first6=Robert|publisher=Pearson|year=2014}}</ref> In the world human population, growth may be said to have been following a [[linear trend]] throughout the last few decades.<ref name=":5" />
[[File:Logistic growth graph (population ecology).JPG|thumb|The logistic growth of a population]]

===Logistic equation===

The growth of a population can often be modelled by the [[Population dynamics#Logistic population growth|logistic equation]]<ref>{{Cite book|title=Brief Applied Calculus|last1=Stewart|first1=James|last2=Clegg|first2=Daniel|publisher=Brooks/Cole Cengage Learning|year=2012}}</ref>

:<math>\frac{dP}{dt}=rP\left(1-\frac{P}{K}\right),</math>

where
* <math>P(t)</math> = the population after time t;
* <math>t</math> = time a population grows;
* <math>r</math> = the relative growth rate coefficient;
* <math>K</math> = the carrying capacity of the population; defined by ecologists as the maximum population size that a particular environment can sustain.<ref name=":0" />

As it is a separable differential equation, the population may be solved explicitly, producing a [[logistic function]]:

:<math>P(t)=\frac{K}{1+Ae^{-rt}}</math>,

where <math>A=\frac{K-P_0}{P_0}</math> and <math>P_0</math> is the initial population at time 0.

Many of the world's countries, including many in [[Sub-Saharan Africa]], the [[Middle East]], [[South Asia]] and [[South East Asia]], have seen a sharp rise in population since the end of the [[Cold War]]. The fear is that high population numbers are putting further strain on natural resources, food supplies, fuel supplies, employment, housing, etc. in some of the less fortunate countries. For example, the population of [[Chad]] has ultimately grown from 6,279,921 in 1993 to 10,329,208 in 2009,<ref name="cia"/> further straining its resources. [[Vietnam]], [[Mexico]], [[Nigeria]], [[Egypt]], [[Ethiopia]], and the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo|DRC]] are witnessing a similar growth in population.
