The sudden increase in the population is steamingly high and continues to elevate. For every second, three or more babies are born in every country and that is a big effect in our community and the whole world. Population rate has been growing effectively but death rates are reduced resulting to an imbalance in the population status. However, if the number of death rates will decrease, still we will find it very hard to manipulate the population fraction.
Is this an issue we should ponder on? It certainly is because it do not only affect the enormous population size but conveys to the general problems occurring in our society. It is very important that we become aware of the population dimension for the reason that it entails us to be living in jam-packed places if lucky. But for some, streets are will become a vacancy.
Rapid population growth will contribute to poor employment, agriculture, economy, and poverty. It is true that if population will not decline, food shortage will rise. Food shortage then arrives to malnutrition which a part of the world is experiencing now.
Increase in population will increase poverty and it is another imperative problem the world will face. Unemployment leads to poverty and poverty leads to economic crisis. It is said that there has to be only two to three children in a family in order for them to suffice the basic needs to maintain the standard way of living. If more than five children are raised and the father is unemployed and they keep raising another batch of children, how will they provide the needs of their children basically for food and education? Schools are rampantly overcrowded with students. Children begging in the streets for money to buy food are not surprising. Some are lucky enough to reach college while some risk in hard work with less pay.
Issues’ regarding the population growth has been a dispute between the Church and the State resulting to misunderstanding. The government is continuously observing the cause of the unwanted population explosion at the same time finding means on how to stop it. While the Church supports family life production. In any way, the church’s credence is ratifying but are they opt to accommodating the issues that goes along with it?
In recent studies, population growth has an immense result and consequence in affecting our economy. In the years to come if we do not come up to certain possibilities of decreasing birth rates, food shortage comes at hand. In the years to come, if we reach the hit the highest number of population and cities are fully occupied, we will be forced to sacrifice fields we use for vegetation and agriculture. Therefore, this would lead to food shortage and malnutrition.
Population is a major problem especially in rural places where agriculture resources are being cultivated. It hastily affects our environment and natural resources. The flora and fauna we have been preserving are being abused by wicked intentions and misuse. If we do not preserve our resources, food production is affected and sustainable development will not be maintained for that reason.
As our population increase our needs, our demands become high so we definitely need good governance. If the population density will lessen, we can accumulate bigger opportunities and avoid chances of being overcrowded.
