Question

What are the consequences of rapid population growth?

Answer 1

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. ... Poor people lack access to enough land and income to meet basic needs.

Answer 2

$\huge\fbox\green{❥Answer}$

A rapidly increasing population reduces incomes, savings and investment. Thus capital formation is retarded and job opportunities are reduced, thereby increasing unemployment. Moreover, as the labour force increases in relation to land, capital and other resources, complementary factors available per worker decline.
