Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which results in overpopulation. It is possible for a sparsely populated area to become densely populated if it is not able to sustain life. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/273999784 2018-08-20 08:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/273999784 Since the time of the Bubonic Plague in the 1400’s, the growth of population has been on a constant increase. Between the time of the plague and the 21st century, there was been hundreds and thousands of wars, natural calamities and man-made hazards. However, none of these have made a dent on the population. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/273999975 2018-08-20 08:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/273999975 Causes of overpopulation areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274000189 1.

The world has added approximately one billion inhabitants over the last twelve years. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002122 2018-08-20 08:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002122 Even with the high death rates of those living in poverty, the world population is still expanding at an incredible rate.The world’s population is growing by 1.10 percent per year, or approximately an additional 83 million people annually. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002234 2018-08-20 09:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002234 The global population is expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100. 50.4 percent of the world’s population is male and 49.6 percent is female. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002355 2018-08-20 09:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002355 The median age of the global population, that is, the age at which half the population is older and half is younger, is 30 years. 1While the developed world argues over the ethics of issues like birth control and family planning, the poor continue to experience unprecedented population growth. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002574 2018-08-20 09:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002574 From 2017 to 2050, it is expected that half of the world’s population growth will be concentrated in just nine countries: India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Ethiopia, the United Republic of Tanzania, the United States of America, Uganda and Indonesia (ordered by their expected contribution to total growth). More than three-quarters of the world’s population lives in Africa (17 percent) and Asia (60 percent). Africa’s share of the global population is projected to reach 26 percent in 2050 and could reach 40 percent by 2100. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002675 2018-08-20 09:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002675 In all plausible scenarios of future trends, Africa will play a central role in shaping the size and distribution of the world’s population over the next few decades. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002782 2018-08-20 09:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002782 Indigenous peoples account for around 5 percent of the world’s population but 15 percent of people living in poverty. 2Amongst the 10 most populous countries in the world, Nigeria’s population, currently the seventh largest in the world, is growing the most rapidly. The population of Nigeria is projected to surpass that of the United States shortly before 2050, at which point it would become the third largest country in the world. 1China (1.41 billion) and India (1.34 billion) remain the two most populous countries of the world, representing 19 and 18 percent of the world’s population, respectively. In 2024, both countries are expected to have roughly 1.44 billion people. areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002856 2018-08-20 09:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274002856 Young people ages 10–24 account for about 1.8 billion of the world’s population. Ninety percent of them live in developing countries. Children under 15 years of age represent roughly one quarter of the world’s inhabitants (26 per cent). areejakhtar2 https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274003504 2018-08-20 09:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/areejakhtar2/areejakhtar/wish/274003504
