I've heard that the world's population is growing exponentially. How is this happening?

The world’s population is growing because more people are being born than die. This is called “population growth.” Population growth occurs when there are more births than deaths, and it can happen for many reasons, including a rise in the average number of children per family, an increase in the number of women who choose to have children, or a decrease in death rates due to medical advances.
