Answer 2

Answer:

Overpopulation is the condition where the number of existing living creatures and human population exceeds the limited habitats and resources to sustain them. Overpopulation of human is caused by higher rate of birth and lesser rate of death. Longevity of life and less mortality results from better medical care, awareness of hygienic living conditions, proper physical health awareness, balanced diet and better mother and child care before and after birth.

Various problems are associated with population explosion. The increased population puts pressure on our resources such as land, water and food as the demand increased. Overpopulation results in food scarcity, starvation and malnutrition. Overpopulation results in depletion of natural resources like fossil fuels and destruction of forests for housing and timber industries.

Human overpopulation causes greater pollution of air, land and water. This decreases the quality of life and results in various diseases and health problems. While man power is necessary for agricultural and industrial production, overpopulation leads to unemployment. Law and order situations also deteriorate. The best means to control overpopulation is by practicing family planning.
