The
life
expectancy
 of people is related to the overall condition of the planet and it varies with location. The average
life
 span has improved compared to the earlier generations.
This
 phenomenon has positive as well as negative implications. As the improved
life
expectancy
 has played a big role in economic development, it has
also
 been responsible for the larger problem of population explosion. To start with, the improved average
life
expectancy
 has made people more happy and ambitious as they have become more fit and healthy which eventually has changed the mindset of people.
For instance
, people nowadays spend more on holidays and leisure activities against the previous generations which were unable to even think about holidays due to frequent plagues and volatile geopolitical situations due to the two big wars.
Additionally
, improved
life
expectancy
 has played a role in the economic upliftment of many countries. Despite, many advantages, the increased average
life
 span of people has led to the haphazard increase in

umber of people.
For example
, the south-east Asian countries are now facing the issue of provisioning of basic services like housing, water, sewer and food due to population explosion.
This
 implication will
further
 reduce the
life
expectancy
 and
also
 become a catalyst in creating instability in terms of peace in the region.
Therefore
, improved living conditions can have negative implications if not dealt with caution. To conclude, the negative implications will outweigh the positive one's if appropriate steps to tackle the issue of the increased populace are not adopted. The countries in the south-east part of the earth must address the issue of the population explosion by doing awareness campaigns of birth control and taking appropriate measures to ensure adequate health care to the people.
