Population Matters, formerly known as the Optimum Population Trust,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/target/113489/source/alpha )〕 is a think tank, and campaign group expressing what it describes as population concern regarding impacts of population growth on long term sustainability, quality of life and the natural environment, specifically natural resources, climate change, and biodiversity. ==Background== The Optimum Population Trust was launched in 1991 and Population Matters was adopted as a campaign name in 2011.〔 Population Matters carries out research on climate change, energy requirements, biodiversity, and other environmental and economic factors in relation to population numbers. It campaigns for population stabilisation and gradual decrease to sustainable levels for both the world and the United Kingdom. Population Matters campaigns to stabilise population both nationally and globally at a sustainable level with a focus on initiating a culture shift towards smaller family sizes in the UK and improving resources for women's empowerment programmes and family planning in lower income countries. With the vision of reducing populations voluntarily in order to enable acceptable quality of life and protection of wildlife and the environment,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.meetup.com/Central-London-Humanists/events/61135812/ )〕 Population Matters states that its intermediate aims are: improved provision of family planning and sex education, better education and rights for women, and that couples voluntarily "have two or fewer". For the UK specifically, it advocates greater effort to reduce the high rates of teenage pregnancy and unintended pregnancy and that immigration be brought into balance with emigration. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Population Matters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
