Many issues are raised by the emergence of public population policies. Migration to the U.S. reached its peak before World War 1 and has been a significant factor in the redistribution of population in regard to resources. Gross inequality in the distribution of population relative to economic resources presents a problem that may prevent the preservation of peace. 95% of the worlds population live in overpopualted areas; however dynamic effects of population growth and decline are more important than the relation of population to resources. There are several important considerations in the overpopulated countries. Technological advance is causing a decrease in the proportion of the worlds labor force that can be used in food production. Farm livng is conducive to large families; traditional mores inhibit the spread of family planning. Education city living industrial jobs working women revolutionary social movements and the advance of science contribute to family limitation. National population policies in Europe have come as a reaction to population decrease. In the U.S. population policy has attracted little attention but there is a rising interest in the economic status of families with children
