"India's population has been increasing you supporting this statement" How ?
Answers
India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous country by 2027, according to recent United Nations projections. The country now has 1.37 billion people — second only to China’s 1.4 billion — and is expected to add another 230 million by 2050, many of whom will be among the world’s poorest.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have had those facts in mind earlier this year when he called on Indians to have small families. Yet those alarming statistics hide a more complex reality, and some positive trends, experts say.
As in much of the rest of the world, India’s growth rate has been slowing for the past few decades, a decline attributed to increasing alleviation of poverty; rising education levels, especially among women; and growing urbanization. Most Indian states are expected to hit replacement fertility levels of 2.1 children per woman by 2021. Fertility rate has already declined to an average of 2.2 in 2017, according to a government survey of 22 major states, while urban fertility has already fallen below replacement level, to 1.7 children per woman. (The replacement fertility level refers to the number of children born per woman so that one generation exactly replaces the preceding one.)
Still, nine of those states have fertility rates above replacement levels, including five of the poorest. And experts say that India still has a large unmet need for modern contraceptive methods and relies too heavily on sterilizing women. The United Nations estimates that more than 10 million Indian women a year have unintended pregnancies.
According to current estimates, India’s population will peak in the early 2060s at 1.7 billion, putting additional pressure on the environment and natural resources and boosting greenhouse gas emissions —though the average Indian generates a fraction of the planet-warming emissions produced by the average American or European. Most of India’s population increase by mid-century will be due to demographic momentum, meaning that even as fertility rates fall below replacement levels, the large numbers of young people will continue to boost the country’s population, says P. Arokiasamy, head of the Department of Development Studies at the Indian Institute of Population Sciences in Mumbai.
Answer:
Population growth has become a pressing issue in the world, as well as our country today. This is because a growing population requires a growing economy and has increasing needs. Therefore, the large population becomes a problem when the state lacks enough space, enough food, and necessary supplies to live off.
The current population of India is around 135 crores. ... India is the primary ground of population explosion. It covers 17% of the population of the world and is the most populated country.
The Causes of Overpopulation
Falling Mortality Rate. The primary (and perhaps most obvious) cause of population growth is an imbalance between births and deaths. ...
Underutilized Contraception. ...
Lack of Female Education. ...
Ecological Degradation. ...
Increased Conflicts. ...
Higher Risk of Disasters and Pandemics.
A good example of overpopulation is where there are no trees left, no parks, and just concrete structures, cars and humans, garbage and litter all over the streets and sidewalks, and noise.
