Essay on Indian population
India is the second most populous countryin the world. This has its positive and negative aspects. The positive aspect is that most of the people in this country are below 25.

This means that we don’t have to fear for our economic productivity unlike countries like Japan where there are more retired people than young people. This graying of the population spells doom for Japan’s economic growth as it won’t have enough young and healthy people to work in its offices and factories. It will have to import labor from other countries to take up these jobs.

The negative aspects far outweigh the positive aspect of a sizeable population. Overpopulation strains the natural resources of a country. People migrate from villages to cities in search of better opportunities leading to overcrowding and social unrest. Poverty will increase and so will tension between the haves and have-nots.
