Question

(Why we should study about population structure? - Discuss)/(5 paragraph )​

Answer 1

Answer:

Social scientists since many centuries and geographers during  the last many decades have been interested in the study of population. Human geographers are keenly interested in distribution of population as a core area of population studies.  Population size, age variations and other demographic  considerations are also a part of population studies.

Births, deaths and migration are the three major factors which  are at the centre of the study of population of any country, region or  place. A very wide range  of analysis and the resulting inferences provide necessary inputs to  policy makers, social scientists, and various agencies of the  government, viz. industry. The projections of future requirements of  food, water, education, medical facilities and energy are all based on  population studies.  This has been  due to changes in population.

The economic planning and development of many countries  including India, is very much influenced by the changes in population. It is still not in a  position to use its resources adequately for the betterment of the  growing population.  The situation in India today is marked in terms of lack of  electricity in many villages, insufficient food for a large part of its  population and very little health care and education facilities.

Poverty prevails to great extent in India due to  poor clothing, inadequate housing, poor medical care and  malnutrition.   The development and improvement in health  care facilities and availability of food around the world were the main  reasons for the faster growth of population during the last two  centuries. Better health care has resulted in decreasing death rates in  general and infant mortality rates in particular.

The problem of slums in urban areas and  metropolitan cities is due to the migration of large population in  search of livelihood.  The population policy of India makes it necessary for an  increase in production capacity in the fields of industry, agriculture, education etc. to support the ever growing population. The growth in  population has to be stabilized through reduction in birth rates, by  adopting various methods of family planning.
