The document discusses population explosion and its causes, effects, and solutions. It states that human population has grown rapidly over the past century due to reductions in death rates from improved food production, public health, and medicine. This population growth puts pressure on resources and leads to environmental degradation if not addressed. Suggested control measures include increasing education, especially of women, providing government benefits for smaller families, and increasing publicity about birth control.

2. DEFINITION:
The rapid growth of the worlds
population over the past one
hundred years results
From a difference between the rate
od birth and the rate of death.the
human population will increase by
one billion people in the next
decade

3. Causes of rapid population growth
 The
success in reducing death rates was
the major reason,it was attributable to
several factors :
 increase in food production and
distribution
 Improvement in public health
 Medical technology,along with gains in
education and standards of living with in
many developing nations

4. control measures:
 Education
:

Literacy plays a major role in controlling population growth

Improving the literacy rate especially in women can help a lot

5. OVERALL VIEW:

In the 20th century, human population has grown much
faster than before.

Between 1950-1990---population crossed 5 billion mark
i.e; 92 million every year

In the year 2000 the world population was 6.3 billion and
it is predicted to grow 4 times in next 100 years

6. INDIAN SCENARIO:

Population of india is more than one billion ---- second
most populous country next to china

In 2050 the expected indian population is 1.63 billions---will surpass china in 2030 .

In just 35 years after independence we added another
india in terms of population

Now Current situation--- we can say every 6th person in
this world is indian

7. Adverse Effects of Population Explosion

Resource Depletion

Environmental Degradation

Increase in waste Production

Air,Water and soil pollution

8. Important Views On Population Growth
Malthusian theory:

Human populations tend to grow at an exponentential rate
where as food production tend to very slow growth.

Starvation,poverty,disease,crime and misery are expected.

For stabilizing the population growth we need

“positive checks” –famines,disease outbreak and violence

“preventive checks” –birth control systems

9. Maxian theory –karl Marx

Population growth – a symptom rather than cause of
poverty, resource depletion ,population and other
problems

Social exploitation and oppression of the less privileged
people leads to poverty,unemployment,environmental
degradation and in turn cause over population.
