Re: Problems Of Population Growth In India
As you asking for the is Problems Of Population Growth In India let mec tell you it is the major issuer in the Development of our Country According to the Indian census, carried out in 2011, t he population of India was exactly 1,210,193,422, which means India has crossed the 1-billion mark. This is the second most populous country of the world after China and the various studies have projected that India will be world’s number-1 populous country, surpassing China, by 2025. Causes of Over Population The two main common causes leading to over population in India are: The birth rate is still higher than the death rate. We have been successful in declining the death rates but the same cannot be said for birth rates. The fertility rate due to the population policies and other measures has been falling but even then it is much higher compared to other countries. Effects of Over Population Unemployment: Generating employment for a huge population in a country like India is very difficult. The number of illiterate persons increases every year. Unemployment rate is thus showing an increasing trend. Manpower utilisation: The number of jobless people is on the rise in India due to economic depression and slow business development and expansion activities. Pressure on infrastructure: Development of infrastructural facilities is unfortunately not keeping pace with the growth of population. The result is lack of transportation, communication, housing, education, healthcare etc. Resource utilisation: Land areas, water resources, forests are over exploited. There is also scarcity of resources. Decreased production and increased costs: Food production and distribution have not been able to catch up with the increasing population and hence the costs of production have increased. Inflation is the major consequence of over population. Inequitable income distribution: In the face of an increasing population, there is an unequal distribution of income and inequalities within the country widen. |
