India is facing a serious problem of population explosion, as its current population of over 1.27 billion makes it the second most populous country behind China. The rapid population growth is due to declining death rates alongside a high birth rate and lack of family planning education. This overpopulation creates many issues like increased environmental degradation, poverty, unemployment, and shortage of resources and facilities. Potential solutions proposed include social measures like increasing the minimum age of marriage and women's education, economic measures like job creation, and encouraging later marriages, self-control, and smaller family sizes.
