Effects of Rapid Population Growth
1. There are approximately 1.3. billion impoverished human beings.
As the population steadily increases, the gap between the rich and the
poor widens.
2. Some 60% of the 4.8 billion people in developing countries lack basic
sanitation and almost 33% have no access to clean water.
3. Nearly 1 billion people in the world are illiterate, and 66% of them are
women.
4. Some 841 million people today are chronically malnourished, and there
are 88 “food deficit” countries. This means “they can neither feed

can fill them.
6. Nearly 50% of the Earth’s landmass has been changed by human activity,
that is wetlands being filled in, forest trees, and related products being cut
down and plowed under.
7. Among the ocean’s major fish stocks, 35% are declining, and another 25%
Are being fully exploited.
8. Species are going extinct at a faster rate than ever before.
In connection with No.6 above, the Philippine forests and the world
forests are greatly affected by rapid population growth. Trees are harvested
in great proportion to cater to the requirements of the forest-based
industries worldwide.

rapid population growth. The world catch has steadily declined since 1989.
Other impacts of continued growth in the human population include: (1)

increased desertification, which is the conversion of productive rangeland
or cropland into desert-like land. It is usually caused by a combination of
overgrazing, soil erosion, prolonged drought, and climate change; (2)
increased urbanization, in which cities may offer opportunities for the
people of developing countries. However, the danger lies in the structural
inadequacies including public sanitation and insufficient sewage systems.
This situation would ultimately result in the occurrence or emergence of diseases; and
(3) it will result in the death of rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Earth’s Carrying Capacity
Carrying capacity is the number of organisms an environment e.g.,

Earth can support. Determined by food production, living space, waste
assimilation, and resource availability. For humans, carrying capacity can
be expanded through advances in agriculture, industry, and medicine.
Some believe Earth’s carrying capacity has already been reached and
exceeded as illustrated by the polluted air, denuded landscapes, species
extinction, starvation, poverty, and global warming.
