Answer 1

HI FRIEND,

• The rapid growth of population diminishes the availability of capital per head which reduces the productivity of its labour force.

• More population requires more investment in every sphere like the production of food grain, new infrastructure, new employment opportunities etc.

• A large population leads to high unemployment in the country. The rate of increasing employment opportunities could not counter the rate of increasing population.

• More population requires more place to live which resulting in clearing of forests and adversely affect the environment of the world. It also destroys the habitats of many animals which becomes extinct.

• It also brings down the standard of living of people. The standard of living is determined by their per capita income. As per capita income decreases, the standard of living also decreases.

• It also increases the level of poverty.

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF THE LARGE POPULATION :

• Large Population makes it possible to form a large army which can be used to defend the country during war or any other emergencies.
