The problems of over population that directly affect our everyday life.
It took mankind more than a million years to reach the first billion. That was the world population around the year 1800. By the year 1900, a second billion was added and the 20thcentury has added another 3.7 billion. The present day world population is estimated at 5.7 billion. Every four days the world population increases by one million. Such rapid and ever rising increase in the population is raising grave concerns. There can be not doubt that the growth of world population is one of the strongest factors distorting the future of human society.
The rich are getting rich, and poor beget children that condemns them to remain poor. More children does not mean more workers, merely more people without work. The population of India is estimated to be 920 million today – more than the entire populations of Africa and South America put together. No one familiar with the conditions in India would doubt that the hope of the people would die in their hungry hutment unless population control is given topmost priority.
The world is not enough for such huge numbers surviving on here. The natural resources are being consumed much faster than ever before. With so much people living on the waste produced of various kinds, be it biodegradable or non-biodegradable, the fossils consumed, the resources harvested, the forests cleared, the heat produced, the global warming caused, the aerosols affecting the ozone layer are are the repercussions of the ever growing population. If we cannot envisage even now then no one else will be blamed but we ourselves and the destruction is inevitable.
