World Population Growth – Reason, Effects & Solution

The number of people in an area is called the population of that area. Today, the world population is increasing rapidly. World population growth is a serious problem. If the population grows in this way then a demographic explosion can occur.

When the death rate decreases and the birth rate rises rapidly, this situation is called a population explosion. Because of this, countless problems arise around the world. Right efforts should be made to curb population growth, otherwise, the world may suffer its bad consequences.

 

Due to the growth of the world population

1.	Marriage at an early age	Due to marriage at an early age, the couple becomes parents very quickly, so the population increases rapidly.
2.	Longing for a son or daughter	People tend to ignore the increasing number of families and give birth to children, in the desire of a son or daughter. With this, her family increases, and the population also increases.
3.	Illiteracy	The problem of population growth is found mainly in developing countries. Lack of education causes people to increase the population because they are not aware of the fact of family planning.
4.	Superstition	Some people believe that children are due to God and make no effort in family planning. This is also a reason for population growth.
5.	See their children as their power	Some fundamentalists see more of their children as their power than others.
6.	Lack of knowledge of family planning	Most people are unaware of family planning and the benefits associated with it, due to this the population is increasing.

At the same time, it remains a major challenge for the Singapore Government to motivate people to produce more children.
• China is an example in terms of production: China is the most populous country in the world. To control the growing population, 1979 under the leadership of Deggs Gooping, China took appropriate measures and implemented a children’s policy. If the policy was denied, the couple had to pay a heavy fine and, if they did not pay it, they would be forced to abort. As a result, China’s growing population declined and benefited China.

 

Disadvantages of world population growth

Problems arising due to world population growth in terms of the environment can be solved through various efforts. By increasing the production of the youth population, developed countries are counted in the category, but by any effort, the natural resources we have lacked cannot be attained.
