B.5. Consequences Of Overpopulation

Unemployment

  • It is extremely tough to generate jobs for a large population in a country like India. The number of illiterate people grows every year due to a variety of factors such as illiteracy, a lack of resources, the use of old technologies, a low level of investment, and so on.
  • According to monthly time series statistics from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CIME), India’s overall unemployment rate was 8.10 percent in February 2023, but it declined to 7.6 percent in March.

Manpower utilization

  • Due to the country’s economic downturn and the slow growth and expansion of businesses, there are an increasing number of unemployed people in India.

Pressure on infrastructure

  • Infrastructure development is not keeping pace with population increase which leads to lack of transportation, communication, housing, education and healthcare facilities.

Resource Utilization

  • Forests, water resources, and land are all overused.

Reduced Output and increased costs

  • The cost of producing food has increased. The main impact of excessive population is inflation.

Inequitable income distribution

  • With an increasing population, there is an unequal distribution of income, and inequalities within the country are growing.
