Every corner of India is a clear display of increasing population. Whether you are in a metro station, airport, railway station, roads, highway, bus stop, hospital, shopping malls, market, temple or even in a social/ religious gathering, we see all these places are overcrowded at any time of the day. This is a clear indication of overpopulation in the country.
Some major impacts of overpopulation are as follows:
Unemployment: Generating employment for a huge population in a country like India is getting very difficult.
Manpower utilisation: The number of jobless people is on the rise in India due to economic depression and slow business development.
Pressure on infrastructure: Development of infrastructural facilities is unfortunately not keeping pace with the growth of population due to lack of transportation, communication, housing, education, healthcare etc.
Other impacts are decreased production and increased cost, inequitable income distribution.
Steps to control population:
By increasing the welfare and status of women and girls, spread of education, increasing awareness for the use of contraceptives and family planning methods, sex education, encouraging male sterilisation and spacing births, free distribution of contraceptives, encouraging female empowerment, more health care centres for the poor, can play a major role in controlling population.
Hope this helps!
