A.回答问题
According to a recent report from the United Nations （联合国），the world’s population continues to grow.It is over 7 billion now.It could reach 8.4 billion in the year 2025.
But during the past 10 years or so，a large and fast drop in the world’s birth rate （率） has taken place.Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago.It is happening in both developing and developed countries.
China is such a country that has already cut （减少） its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970.Each Chinese family has no more than one child.But in 2016，the government in China ended its one-child policy and let families have two children instead so as to balance population development and stop a falling birth rate.
Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate （负增长率）.Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage of workers in the future.And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retirees （退休人员）.
