Causes of overpopulation

 VARIOUS CAUSES OF OVERPOPULATION



1. The Decline in the Death Rate

At the root of overpopulation is the difference between the overall birth rate and death rate in population. If the number of children born each year equals the number of adults that die, then the population will stabilize.

2. Agricultural Advancements

Agriculture advancements in the 20th century have allowed humans to increase food production using fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides and yields further. This allowed humans with  more access to food that leads to subsequent population explosions.

3. Better Medical Facilities

Illnesses that had claimed thousands of lives until now were cured because of  he invention of vaccines. Combining the increase in food supply with fewer means of mortality tipped the balance and became the starting point of overpopulation.



 4. lack Of Education

Lack of education and poverty are major causes of overpopulation. Therefore, the poverty - stricken areas are observed having a dense population. If a country has a limited population , it is quite easy to fulfill the demand. as a result, the country gets a good scope to develop, unlike overpopulated countries.

5. lack of Family planning

There are a huge number of illiterate people that belong to different developing countries and live below the poverty line . these people have a lack of knowledge about family planning. they prefer to marry their children at an early age. As a result, it increase the chances of conceiving more pregnancies.

6. Availability of Fertility Treatments

Although fertility treatments are not majorly affecting the population growth of the world, still is to the overpopulation somehow. The availability of fertility treatments has made it possible for more couples to have children.
