Anchor 1: For the details of this hour’s top news, Difference between Rural and
Urban Families Children Rate Explained, for more information here’s
Jacob Vilbar.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 1: Studies have shown an immense contrast between the Rural and Urban
families’ views on raising children. Rural Communities tend to have more
children to help in crop cultivation during planting and harvesting seasons.
Poorer districts of urban centers also tend to have more children because
the success of their “small family business” depends on how many of their
family members can be hawking their wares from the street.
Urbanized, Educated and Professional Families with two incomes,
however, desire just one or two progenies. Families like this have
committed to their respective professions and neither has time to devote
to having more kids. Rural families view multiple children and large kinship
networks as critical investments while Urban families however may not
have the same kinship network because they move out of farmlands and
work on more upscale business.
Jacob Vilbar for the Radio News Express
Anchor 2: Meanwhile, Agricultural population shrunk: Migration the possible reason?
For the details here’s Shenelle Dela Cruz for the report.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 2: Different views of family life determine the economic and social policies
that countries craft regarding their respective populations. Countries in the
“less developed regions of the world” that rely on agriculture tend to
maintain high levels of population growth. The blog site “Nourishing the
Planet” however noted an agricultural population shrunk has occurred.
It stated that urban populations have grown but not necessarily because

5. 5555555555
families are having more children. It is rather because of the natural
outcome of significant migration to the cities by people seeking work in the
“more modern” sectors of society. This movement of people is especially
manifest in the developing countries where industries and business in the
cities are attracting people from the rural areas. Although there is an
agricultural population shrunk, statistics has shown that the population still
grew numerically.
Shenelle Dela Cruz for the Radio News Express
Anchor 1: For the other news, Global Population Control: The Answer for
Overpopulation. Adrian Sacay for the details.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 3: Overpopulation is the core of the economist argument for the promotion of
reproductive health. Prominent Writers like Thomas Malthus, Paul R.
Enrich and Anne has reported the perils of overpopulation as it will bring
world hunger and environmental degradation. With this the promotion of
Global Population Control has been established. Advocation of
contraception and sterilization has been done as it is told to be the
practical solutions to global economic, social and political problems.
Advocates of population control contend for the universal access to
reproductive technologies such as condoms, pills, abortion and vasectomy
and giving women the right to choose whether to have children or not. By
limiting the population, vital resources could be used for economic
progress and not be “diverted” and “wasted” to feeding more mouths. This
argument became the basis for government “population control” programs
worldwide.

Anchor 1: And we’re back for more news! Malthusian Theory Proven Wrong. Radio
News Express Kris Valerie Porcadilla, bring it in.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 4: Neo-Malthusians predicted a global famine because they believed that
food production could not keep pace with population growth. Betsy
Hartmann however disagrees with the advocates of the theory and
accused governments of using population control as “substitute for social
justice and much-needed reforms – such as land distribution, employment
creation, provision of mass education and health care and emancipation.”
Others pointed out that population growth aided economic development by
spurring technological and institutional innovation and increasing the
supply of human ingenuity. Green Revolution created high-yielding
varieties of rice and other cereals and, along with the new methods of
cultivation, increasing yields globally, but more particularly the developing
of the world. The global famine that neo-Malthusians predicted did not
happen. Instead, global grain production increased, allowing agriculture to
keep pace with population growth, thereby keeping global famine under
control.
Kris Valerie Porcadilla for the Radio News Express
Anchor 2: For the other news, The Issue for Women and Reproductive Rights.
Here’s Jacob Vilbar for the updates.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 1: Reproductive rights supporters argued that if population control and
economic development were to reach their goals, women must have

7. 7777777777
control whether they will have children. First World Nations and fast
developing countries were able to sustain growth in part because women
were given the power of choice and easy access to reproductive
technologies. The serial correlation between fertility, family and fortune
has motivated countries with growing economies to introduce and
strengthen their reproductive health laws.
Jacob Vilbar for the news update.
Anchor 1: Political and Religious Arguments about Abortion Unmasked. Shenelle
Dela Cruz, take it away.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 2: Opponents regard reproductive rights as nothing but a false front for
abortion. They contend that this method of preventing conception
endangers the life of a mother and must be banned. The religious wing of
the anti-reproductive rights flank goes further and describes abortion as a
debauchery that sullies the name of God; it will send the mother to hell
and prevents a new soul, the baby, to become human.
In the political sense, a country being industrialized and developed,
however, does not automatically ensure pro-women reproductive
regulations. The Women’s Movement of 1960 was responsible for the
passage and judicial endorsement of a pro-choice law, but conservatives
controlling state legislatures have also slowly undermined this law by
imposing restrictions on women’s access to abortion.

Anchor 2: We are back once again to continue our news updates. The Feminist
Perspective on Population Control. Here’s Adrian Sacay to bring in the
news.
SNEAK IN STINGER 1 (LASER)
Reporter 3: Feminists are against of any form of population control because they are
compulsory by nature and therefore does not empower women. Feminists
believe that government assumptions that poverty and environmental
degradation are caused by overpopulation are wrong. These assumptions
ignore other equally important causes like unequal distribution of wealth
and lack of public safety nets, they argue. There is very little evidence that
point to overpopulation as the culprit behind poverty and ecological
devastation.
This is Adrian Sacay for the news updates.
(CUE IN…...FLASH REPORT MUSIC….)
Anchor 1: An incoming flash report, here are the latest news for population growth
and food security. The world's population is expected to reach 11.2 billion
by 2100, with 95 percent of this growth occurring in developing countries.
Demographers predict that the world population will stabilize by 2050 but
feeding this population will be an immense challenge for nations around
the world.

9. 9999999999
The Food and Agriculture Organization warns that in order for countries to
mitigate the impact of population growth, food production must increase.
FAO recommends that countries increase their investments in agriculture,
craft long-term policies aimed at fighting poverty, and invest in research
and development. FAO urges countries to keep their markets open and
eventually move towards a global trading system that contributes to a
dependable market for food. The UN Body also suggests that countries
develop a comprehensive social program that includes food assistance,
consistent delivery of health services and education especially for the
poor. They also stress that although applying these suggestions will take a
sometime, good governance is the goal that every country should attain.
