Population

1-How many children did your grandparents have? What about your parents? How many children do you (want to) have?

My grandparents from my mother side have 5 children (2 uncles + 3 aunts) and my grandparents from my father side only 2 children (2 boys) that was because the war and they had to move out from Palatine to Lebanon and then to Saudi Arabia. My parents have 4 children including me (2 boys+2 girls) so 2 teams ha-ha. Personally I would like to have 2 kids a boy and a girl it is enough.

2-What is the population of your country? What impact does the population have on the quality of life there?

The population in Saudi Arabia has increased up to 27.5 million. I thinks it is a big country and it can take more people, however I thinks when the population is increasing the people are spreading outside the city which is mean that they are extending the city. I think the quality of life is ok but the quality of environment is going bad because in Saudi Arabia each male member in a family should at least have 1 to 2 cars. I believe this is causing a lot of pollutions and so it is destroying the environment.

3-Has there been a significant population shift in your country from rural areas to urban areas? If yes, what are the consequences?

I think nowadays more and more people prefer to go to live in the farther places in the city in order to go away from the crowed. So that is mean they are city are extending more and more every year
