Discuss stress due to the impact of population growth on common social facilities and civic services
Answers
Poverty
Resources crisis
Child labour
Illiteracy
Economic depletion
Population growth has created problems particularly for developing nations where sources of the earnings are inadequate. The administration in such nations fails to render sufficient social amenities and civic aids. The general social amenities include buses, railroads, playgrounds, clinics, roads etc. Overpopulation has generated predicaments for the people to make use of these amenities. We can see massive transportation on streets, vans and trains are congested with commuters, clinics are filled with inmates and common places always remain congested and polluted.
Similarly, civic services like a house, elementary education, water supply, society wellness care, sanitation, and cleanliness etc, are not suitably experienced by the population. Most of the people are dwelling in tenements under unsanitary conditions. There is a deficit of clean drinking water, channels get blocked due to the dumping of sewerage and water logging obstacle occurs during rainy seasons. There are no adequate institutions and community wellness centers.
All are disadvantages of overpopulation.
