The world population has been growing at an unprecedented rate, and the main reason for the surge is the lack of education and awareness in society. In many developing or underdeveloped countries like India, people fail to give up on their old traditions, which results in an increase in members of a family, these traditions are the root of economic backlash and growing epidemics that haunt society currently. In 2021, 828 million people were affected by hunger, which is 9.8% of the world’s population. The world’s sex ratio is estimated to be 101.68 males per 100 females. This means there are 65.51 million more males than females in the world, India’s sex ratio was 1020 females per 1000 males. The sex ratio in rural areas was 1037, and in urban areas, it was 985 females to 1000 males. ‘ India has become the most populous country, what does the world have to do with it? Indian students are immigrating to foreign places to increase the population there this also results in disputes against race, caste religion which ultimately result in war and crimes, overpopulation also results in an unemployment rate in the world is 3.2% which is approximately 250 million people.
The coronavirus pandemic was worsened in underdeveloped or developing countries where people suffered due to sanitation issues, lack of hygiene, and overpopulation, the slums were the worst affected, for example in India more than half of the people living in the slums were affected by covid virus. In my opinion coronavirus pandemic was implemented by nature to check the rise of population in the world, it's a natural way of ensuring that the world is under control.
Urbanization has also become a huge problem and it roots in overpopulation. People living in rural areas prefer to move to cities for better job opportunities and better facilities, which results in an increase in population in urban areas, In India about 72.2% of the population lives in some 638,000 villages, and the rest 27.8% in about 5,480 towns and urban agglomerations, the cutthroat competition on jobs and resources result in the formation of slums which in turns increase the population rate of the world. the increase in population has resulted in the increase in urbanization hence more and more trees have to be cut to construct instruction for living, amenities, and most importantly factories and industries. The factories have been growing and a tremendous pace which has resulted in pressure on resources, and land water, and air pollution have reached their peak, while we want to live a sustainable living factories that we have constructed are giving unprecedented carbon emissions.
Carbon emissions result in global warming which results in the increase in temperature and climate change, it disrupts the rainfall and season pattern which decreases the crop yield causing an increase in food shortage, along with the ever-increasing population as well as poverty rate results in food shortage in the world as well as inflation which causes economic downfall
As you see everything is interrelated, here is a flowchart to better understand it — — Increase in population → Urbanisation Urbanization → health and sanitation issue → pandemics and epidemics Urbanization → lack of jobs → unemployment → crime rate Urbanization → cutting of trees to build infrastructure/ factory emission → Global warming → climate change → less yield of crops → Food shortage → increase in the price of food → Inflation → Economic turmoil → Famine
