Population

Population is a summation of all the

organisms of the same group or species,
which live in a particular geographical area,
and have the capability of interbreeding.

All elements, individuals, or units that meet

the selection criteria for a group to be
studied, and from which a representative
sample is taken for detailed examination.
The total of all populations is called a
universe.

Causes of
Overpopulation
Decline

in the
Death Rate
-more birth rate,
less death rate in a
population

 Better

medical facilities
-Technological advancement was
perhaps the biggest reason why the
balance has been permanently disturbed.
The ability to save lives and create
better medical treatment for all. A direct
result of this has been increased lifespan
and the growth of the population.

 More

Hands to Overcome Poverty:

Families that have been through
poverty, natural disasters or are simply
in need of more hands to work are a
major factor for overpopulation.

 Technological

Advancement in Fertility

Treatment
With latest technological advancement and
more discoveries in medical science, it has
become possible for couple who are unable to
conceive to undergo fertility treatment methods
and have their own babies.

 Lack

of Family Planning
-Most developing nations have large
number of people who are illiterate, live
below the poverty line and have little or
no knowledge about family planning.

Effects of Overpopulation
Depletion

of

Natural
Resources
-The Earth can only
produce a limited
amount of water
and food, which is
falling short of the
current needs.

 Degradation

of Environment
-With the overuse of coal, oil and
natural gas, it has started producing some
serious effects on our environment.

 Conflicts

and Wars
Overpopulation in developing countries puts a
major strain on the resources it should be
utilizing for development. Conflicts over water
are becoming a source of tension between
countries, which could result in wars. It causes
more diseases to spread and makes them
harder to control. Starvation is a huge issue
facing the world and the mortality rate for
children is being fuelled by it. Poverty is the
biggest hallmark we see when talking about
overpopulation.

 Rise

in Unemployment

- there fewer jobs to support large number of

people. Rise in unemployment gives rise to
crime as people will steal various items to
feed their family and provide them basic
amenities of life.

 High

Cost of Living

-As difference between demand and supply

continues to expand due to overpopulation,
it raises the prices of various commodities
including food, shelter and healthcare. This
means that people have to pay more to
survive and feed their families
