It is an admitted fact that most of the countries are over populated today. Over populated places a heavy burden on the economy of a country. Currently,the world has become well aware of the gravity of the problem. Though a plenty of measures have been taken to control the birth rate,the crisis still persists.
The causes of over-population are many and diverse. The primary cause of over-population is sex-attraction. Media is a sure means to develop this attraction. Dirty movies replete with half-naked girls awaken a strong desire for sex. The youth,when observe these movies,are engaged in illicit sex. Sometime they get married at an early and begin producing children.
The second reason pertains to breast-feeding. Science has proved that chances of pregnancy in those women who suckle their babies are less. But the modern women suppose that suckling would mar their feminine beauty. They detest feeding their babies with milk from their breasts. As a result,they get pregnant soon again. This tendency leads to over population.
The population of Pakistan is growing rapidly. Pakistan is a poor country. Its economy cannot bear the burden of a large population. There are many causes of this rapid increase. The most obvious cause is ignorance. About 80% of our population lives in villages. They usually do not know the contraceptives. Moreover,they have not yet realized the gravity of the problem. Rather,they think that the production of more children proves their masculine power.
The pace of population growth is so quick that even draconian restrictions of childbirth,pandemics or a third world war would still leave the world with too many people for the planet to sustain,according to a study. Rather than reducing the number of people,cutting the consumption of natural resources and enhanced recycling would have a better chance of achieving effective sustainability gains in the next 85 years.
In villages,marriages are held at an early age. There people keep on producing children till old age;and they do not get old until they have produced dozens of children. They do not bother to educate them or to give them any professional or technical training. These children are a burden not only on their family but also on the economy of the country. To check this rapid growth of population,urgent steps are needed. I suggest the following steps to be taken in this regard.
Human population growth is becoming a huge issue in our world today. The population is increasing rapidly. The reason that it is becoming a concern is because it has affected the economic,environmental, and social aspects of our world. In the film frontline: heat,we can see how there might not be a future for our planet unless we are able to reduce the emissions and make our world a safe place. Not only for the present but also for future generations so that they are able to live long and healthy lives.
An increase in human population can influence our economy. Some of the factors that are affected are unemployment,poverty and the restriction of economic expansion. When the population increases,the cost of health,education, and other areas of urban growth are affected.
Overpopulation is a major issue all around the world. If population continues to grow at the current rate our planet will be unable to sustain its population.
Overpopulation also leads to shortage of resources such as crops and water. Overpopulation also affects the standard of living of people.
Lack of money makes it very difficult for people to survive in this world. In overpopulated country people die due to lack of fundamental resources like health care, food and water.
Major consequences of overpopulation
- Lack of food to eat
- Lack of quality of air to breathe
- Lack of oil, gas and petroleum
- Depletion of Ozone layer
- Overcrowding
- Deforestation
- Limits on water consumption
- Habitat destruction
- Habitat fragmentation
- Extinction of species
- Noise pollution
- Unemployment
- Corruption
- Inflation
- Soil contamination
- Global warming
The government should make laws to prevent early marriages. The maximum number of the children should be declared. Reward should be given to the couples who produce fewer children. Government jobs should be conditioned with the less production of children. Population welfare department should be made more effective and efficient. The awareness of the benefits of family panning should be fostered. Medicine for the prevention of conception should be distributed free among women. Mobile teams should be organized to persuade people to use the contraceptives. If the government is sincere to control the rapid growth of population,it should take solid measures in this regard.
