explain the effects of high rate of growth of population on human resources
Answers
Explanation:
1. Problem of Investment Requirement:
Indian population is growing at a rate of 1.8 percent per annum. In order to achieve a given rate of increase in per capita income, larger investment is needed. This adversely affects the growth rate of the economy.
2. . Problem of Capital Formation :
Composition of population in India hampers the increase in capital formation. High birth rate and low expectancy of life means large number of dependents in the total population.
3. Effect on per Capita Income:
Large size of population in India and its rapid rate of growth results into low per capita availability of capital. From 1950-51 to 1980-81. India’s national income grew at an average annual rate of 3.6 percent per annum. But per capita income had risen around one percent.
4. Effect on Food Problem:
Rapid rate of growth of population has been the root cause of food problem.
Shortage of food grains hampers economic development in two ways:
(a) People do not get sufficient quantity of food due low availability of food which affects their health and productivity. Low productivity causes low per capita income and thus poverty.
(b) Shortage of food-grains obliges the under-developed countries to import food grains from abroad. So a large part of foreign exchange is spent on it. So development work suffers. So rise in population causes food problem.
