The Impact of Population Growth and Development on Environmental Damage

Abstract

Population increase is influenced by several factors, including births, deaths, and mi-gration. Natural variables include birth and death, while non-natural elements include migration. Growth based on a set quantity is greatly influenced by the number of babies born, but it is also influenced by deaths that can occur at a given age. Population growth, lifestyle changes, the rapid advancement of technology in the creation of objects, and abundant material needs have all contributed to the emergence of new problems that require special attention, namely the presence of objects or goods that have been used and are no longer used, resulting in waste. Development that aims to improve residents' welfare cannot be avoided by the use of natural resources, but exploitation of natural resources that are not effectively managed and exceed the carrying capacity of the environment can lead the ecosystem to lose natural stability and environmental sustainability. The current worldwide environmental problem is the outcome of the continued growth and dominance of nature by a population that continues to expand. Humans consume a lot of energy and resources, generating pollution and environmental damage (Holdren, & Ehrlich, 1974). Numerous human wants must be met for a person's life to be fulfilled (Constanza et al, 2007). Food, housing, clean water, clean air, and other necessities are among these requirements. The rapid population increase harms human life, particularly in terms of socioeconomics (Fischer et al, 2005). The consequences of the population explosion include limited sources of basic needs (food, clothing, housing, and proper sanitation); insufficient social facilities and inadequate health (schools, hospitals, sightseeing spots); and various other life support facilities; and insufficient social facilities and inadequate health (schools, hospitals, sightseeing spots); and insufficient social facilities and inadequate health (schools, hospitals, sightseeing spots); and insufficient social facilities and inadequate health (schools, hospitals, sightseeing spots Inadequate employment for the workforce, which occurs in the field, increases the number of diseases and has a negative influence on social quality of life (many homeless people, beggars, increased crime and others). To overcome the explosion that occurred in a country, several actions and efforts can be made, including strengthening health, education, communication, and transportation facilities, as well as increasing employment prospects for the populace. Organizing KB (Family Planning) programs to lower birth rates and transmigration to ensure an even population distribution in each area.
