Author: Explosion, Population, Growth

Author: Ekta Sharma

Explosion means burst. Population explosion means a rapid increase in population in an area. 

After China, India is the world’s second most populous country. A high population can also be a boon for a country, but only when it is productive or literate. An excessive population is not good for any country, especially for developing and under-developed countries because these countries are struggling. Also, the population keeps expanding, but land is still limited. 

Reasons for Population Growth:

• Illiteracy : People are illiterate because they are unaware of the negative consequences of population growth. They are unable to do any future or family planning. Due to this, a major part of the inhabitants works as child labourers and is also illiterate. This contributes to the inability to generate perspectives.
• Lack of family planning: there is a lack of future perspective and of family planning. People do not even bother to think about family planning. Family planning means planning for a baby, which also leads to responsibility. By this, a healthy and active environment can be created.
• Lack of responsibility: Most people are unconcerned about the population explosion and their contribution to nations. Population growth causes a slew of issues, including global warming, pollution, and land degradation.

People are facing poverty because of the scarcity of resources. The population on the whole cannot be catered to due to a lack of resources and mediums.

• Luring : People often lure children and even young adults into labour just for the sake of money. This gives them a way to earn money, and therefore, people have more children so each can earn for the household (especially the poor).
• Crimes: Rape rates are increasing day by day. It results in many unwanted pregnancies and childbirth. This is a horrendous and shameful crime.
• Infancy rate: the increase of this at the same time is one of the reasons for the population’s rapid growth.

Why is there a growing concern regarding population growth?

We need to be concerned because land is limited, resources are limited, and the state can’t treat everyone equally with such a huge amount of population. Some people are deprived of even the essential necessities such as shelter, food, and the opportunity to work. 

Child labour is increasing as a part of it. If the inhabitants does not get under control, then humans will be the most dangerous animal on the planet. The human race can’t struggle for so long and when only a part of the population is deprived, they will rebel, which will lead to Cahors. DU seats are limited, but there is a lack of students who want to study at the same university. The same is followed in the world. Resources are limited but billions of people are here, which is increasing, and the government just slept over it, which is concerning for a country’s development. 

People need to be cautious. The government needs to implement a two-child policy in India, which also needs to be promoted at a huge level. A mass movement needs to be begun in the country in this regard. The day will not be far when the country will control the population.
