Model Test 9
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population interior land must be cultivated and the good land
worked 1 . Thus, each person produces less and t his means
a 2 average income than 3 obtained with a smaller population. Other
economists 4 that a large population gives more scope for specialization and development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are
not 5 to be built 6 there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control
program 7 the fact official attitudes to population growth vary from country to
country 8 on the level of industrial development and
the 9 of food and raw materials. In the developing countryswheres
a 10 expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be
the 11 of government to 12 a limit on the birthrate, whatever the
consequences 13 . In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.
A(n) 14 birthrate may lead to unemployment because it
15 a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population
on 16 declines, prices also declines and the building industry is
weakened. 17 considerations such as these, the government of a developed
country 18 prefers to see a slowly increasing
population, 19 one which is stable or 20 .
