Population Growth: the Negative Effect on Indian Society

Population Growth is an issue that exists in today’s world that needs to be confronted before it becomes out of hand. The population itself has reached overwhelming numbers making it a problem that could turn to be dangerous. The amount of humans that the earth can support or the carrying capacity is slowly rising but at a much slower rate than the population growth rate. The increasing growth rate has its negative effects environmentally, agriculturally, socially, and economically and also has its positive effects nationally, and economically. The government is brainstorming and trying to come up with ways to decrease

The need to support their families is one of the many reasons over 250 million children aged 5 to 14 years old are in the workforce. Of those 250 million, an estimated 120 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are working fulltime (Latif). According to "Chapter 13: Child Labour: Growing up Too Quickly” by Gordon Bruce, “More than half of these child workers toil in hazardous occupations such as agriculture, mining, and construction” (Bruce). Bruce shares very similar views to those stated in the article “Impact of Child Labour on Universalization of Primary Education at District Bannu”. Not only do both articles give the reader the same data on children in the

Thesis: The topic of human population growth is an important issue due to its impacts upon people in developing countries, economics, religion, food production, and the environment; without any limitations, population growth can lead to negative consequences, such as famine and environmental destruction, or even positive outcomes, such as potential economic growth.

Child labor is the use of children in industry or business, that can deprive them from their childhood, keep them away from attending school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. This practice have numerous occurrences all through history and is one of the worst forms of child exploitation, particularly, with during the industrial revolution. Over the years it has grown to become one of the many serious social issues around the world. According to statistics provided by UNICEF, there are an estimated 250 million children aged 5 to 14 years employed in child labor worldwide and this figure is continuously increasing. Even with the standardized federal labor laws in effect in 1938 not a lot has changed. Child labor not only causes damage to a child’s physical and mental health but also keep him deprive them from their basic rights to education, childhood, and freedom. Child labor has very bad effects on the society that can result to consequences that can exploit the future generation.

Compare predictions for human population growth in developed countries versus developing countries. Why is it difficult to predict the growth of Earth’s human population? Why should population growth be predicted?”? What will happen if there is exponential human growth?

An increase in human population can influence our economy. Some of the factors that are affected are unemployment, poverty and the restriction of economic expansion. When the population increases, the cost of health, education,

While it may be observed that the exponential rate of growth is slowing, the world population is still growing rapidly. Perhaps the biggest concern is not the actual population increase but the distribution of the growth (Wilson, Population).

The problem of child labour continues to pose a challenge before the nation. Government has been taking various pro-active measures to tackle this problem. However, considering the magnitude and extent of the problem and that it is essentially a socio-economic problem inextricably linked to poverty and illiteracy, it requires concerted efforts from all society to make a dent in the problem.

Population is one of the most focus issues in Australia. According to Australian Bureau of Statistic (ABS) (2008), through the change and distribution of the population can affects the policy, economic performance, social service. Because most policies and service will have based on population to revise. Here will discuss the population change, population growth rate and the population distribution in states and territories of Australia by using the census periods on 1996, 2001 and 2006. That to show the population appearance of Australia.

With the acceleration of the Industrial Revolution since 1700, the population increased significantly. In particular, the last 50 years the population growth rate rose and this is due to progress made in medicine and to significantly increase in agricultural productivity by 1960. It is no coincidence that the population within a 50 year period doubled with predictions to talk about further increase within the next 12 years.

Throughout human history, population growth is one of the most important topics brought into discussion. Globally, there are about 7.2 billion people in the world, and it will rise up to 11 billion or more by the 21st century (Brown). When we look back in the history, population growth has been so slow as to be imperceptible within a single generation, “Reaching a globally population of 1 billion in 1804 required the entire time since the humans appeared on the scene. To add the second billion, it took until 1927, just over 100 years. Thirty- three years later, in 1960, world population reached 3 billion” (Brown 15). Then the pace sped

The TedTalk, “Overpopulation Facts-The Problem No one Will Discuss” by Alexandra Paul, discusses that a cause of overpopulation is the decline of death rate. Ms. Paul goes on by giving an example on how rapidly the population grows by stating, “But now we have to stop it or it will be our downfall and just to give you an idea of how fast population grows, bangladesh had a hurricane that killed 139,000 people. How long did it take Bangladesh to replace those deaths with 139,000 new births two and a half weeks” (Paul). She points out how quickly the human population recoups from a natural disaster in as little as two weeks and a half. Another article examines the advancement of technology, and how it plays a role in the cause of overpopulation. The article, “A Paradox of the World Population Stabilization Policy” talks about the expansion of technology. “Technological advancement means expansion of technology in different new sectors, not only updating technology in existing sectors.” (Alam et. al.

What are the environmental and social consequences of rapid population growth in rural developing areas? In urban developing areas?

There are many factors contributing in the population explosion in India, and the increased population has led to many others consequences. Anyhow, steps are taken by the government of India to control this predicament.
