    Meaning of Population Explosion

    It refers to the rapid increase in the population of an area among human beings. Furthermore,
    it is a situation where the economy is not capable of coping with the increasing demand of its
    population.

    Causes of Population Explosion

    The cause of the population explosion includes many factors and reasons. These includes:

    Increase in the birth rate- Due to lack of control on delivery and unawareness of people the
    birth rate is increasing rapidly. In addition, the gap between death and birth has gone way
    wider than what we can think of. Furthermore, the birth rate has increased many folds in
    comparison to the death rate.

    A decrease in infant mortality rate- Mortality rate refers to the number of death of infants
    below the age of 6 months. Due to science and technology, we are able to minimize this rate
    and now only a few cases of death are known per thousand death.

    The life expectancy growth- Earlier the life expectancy of people was around 55-60 years.
    But due to better and improved medical facilities, we are now able to increase the life
    expectancy of people. Now the average age of a person increased to 70-75 years.

    Besides, these better living conditions, good quality food, better nutrition, and better
    sanitation facilities also helped in increasing life expectancy.

    High level of illiteracy- The literacy level of women is one of the biggest problems of family
    planning. In India, people pay very little importance to women’s education and marry them at
    an early age. That’s why they do not have knowledge about birth control methods and the use
    of contraceptives.

    millions of jobless people in India.

    poverty line and they do not have adequate knowledge of the overpopulation of the country.
    Also, they are the major contributor to a high birth rate.

    can take measures to aware of the population about the various methods that can help in
    controlling the population. Also, it should implement some strong campaign for family
    planning and birth control.
