Question

Poverty and backwardness are considered as the cause of rapid population growth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Poverty and backwardness are also considered to be the cause of rapid population because poor and people of back places may not have enough knowledge about contraceptive devices and may not have enough money to buy it. The devices of population management may be also difficult to get in rural backward areas due to which they are not able to control birth. That's why poverty and backwardness are considered to be a cause of population growth. Thanks!

Answer 2

Why poverty and backwardness are considered the cause of rapid population growth?

Explanation:

• Lack of knowledge about contraceptives: since poor people have no or less access to education and awareness they are left with no knowledge about the use of contraceptives and hence have more children.
• Lack of access to education and skills: they remain 'backwards' and away from mainstream society because of unequal distribution of wealth and access to social resources. Their ability to make decisions about having children is impacted because of this.
• Additional Income: when they have more children their labour supply to the economy increases and the total income of the household increases which in turn makes the household self-sufficient and debt-free.
