Question

how population cause poverty 7 points please

Answer 1

Hey

Rapid human population growth has a variety of consequences. Population grows fastest in the world's poorest countries. High fertility rates have historically been strongly correlated with poverty, and high childhood mortality rates. Falling fertility rates are generally associated with improved standards of living, increased life expectancy, and lowered infant mortality. Overpopulation and poverty have long been associated with increased death, and disease. 25 People tightly packed into unsanitary housing are inordinately vulnerable to natural disasters and health problems.

However, most of the world's 1.2 billion desperately poor people live in less developed countries ( LDCs). 26 Poverty exists even in MDCs. One in five Soviet citizens reportedly lives below the country's official poverty line. In the United States, 33 million people - -one in eight Americans are below the official poverty line. The rapid expansion of population size observed since the end of World War II in the world's poorest nations has been a cause of their poverty. 27

Poverty is a condition of chronic deprivation and need at the family level. 28 Poverty, is a major concern of humankind, because poverty everywhere reduces human beings to a low level of existence. Poor people lack access to enough land and income to meet basic needs. A lack of basic needs results in physical weak-ness and poor health. Poor health decreases the ability of the poor to work and put them deeper into poverty.

HOW OVERPOPULATION LEADS TO POVERTY--

--Over population means increase in population.

--And when the population increase it leads to increase in demands for food when the demand is high and the production is limited or less the balance between can not be maintained.

--Demand and supply could not keep pace so the prices increase , people spend money in order to answer their hunger and this leads to poverty.

--Due to over population, many more people are to be supported i.e. basic needs like food, shelter, money, etc has to be divided between the family leading lesser basic needs support for each member of the family. 

--As the population increases job opportunities decrease.

--So, the bread-earbers of the family are not able to feed their many children.

--Each of them becomes nutrient deficient. This results in deaths and starvation which is a condition for poverty.

--We can also say that the lack of education can also be the big reason for increasing poverty as the children could not get the proper education because of bad infrastructure hence , they can not be able to offered job opportunities.
