The continued rise in the world's population is the greatest problem faced by humanity at the present time. What are the causes of this continued rise? Do you agree that it is the greatest problem faced by humanity?

Nowadays we can see that world's

population

is increasing every year and humans are facing many challenges. The main causes of

this

problem are lack of knowledge in family planning and imbalance in

birth

and death rates.

This

essay agrees that

increase

in

population

creating huge problems for society. fist of all, the two main reasons for overpopulation are, people are not aware of family planning and differences in the number of

birth

and death rates. In the olden days, people are not aware of the consequences of the over

birth

rate, because of

this

there are more than ten children in a family on those days. Their children

also

followed the same path which led to the huge rise in

population

. In those days the figures in

birth

and death rates have a lot of variation

this

was

also

another reason for the

increase

in

population

.

For instance

, a survey report in India showed that their

population

increased from 600 million to 1.37 billion in a fifty years span. Some of the effects of

this

problem are,

increase

in the unemployment rate and depletion of water resources. The rise in

population

increases the competition for one job.

Hence

, many people remain unemployed for the rest of their life. Another effect is, because of huge

population

consumption rate

also

increased

this

led to decrease in food materials

secondly

, I agree that drinking water is in shortage because of overpopulation and the cost of living

also

enormously increased. The reason behind water scarcity is over usage of rivers and ponds. the rise in the cost of raw materials is another example of overpopulation.

for instance

, scientists warn that if the

population

goes on increasing it will be really a big threat to human survival. In conclusion, the

increase

in the

population

endangers humanity in many ways and future generations will experience many consequences.
