India Extreme Population Growth

The 20th century is an unforgettable timetable for global population growth. The
number of residents has grown from 3 billion to 6 billion in just 40 years, an increase of
100%. In this growth process, India’s growth rate has not been exceptional. Its population
standard has increased from 448 million to a staggering 1.04 billion, and it has now reached
1.21 billion. The chart below provides more insights on the rapid development that India is
witnessing as opposed to the world population growth
Over the past few decades, India has faced two key breakthroughs due to
overpopulation. One is related to the changes in the age structure caused by the population,
and the other is related to the link between overpopulation and population health. As the
proportion of baby boomers that can produce echo effects continues to increase, changes in
the age structure of India’s population have had a significant impact on India’s economic
growth. In the past, the entire Indian economy relied on the development of young people.
Now the development of young people has become a positive impression of its
demographic status, which has been stimulating economic growth. India's population health
has always been the main driving force for its economic development. India’s healthy
workforce is helping individuals increase productivity, and good health has doubled the
attendance of schools and institutions, there by improving the level of education in India.
The growing population of India has been witnessing a strong decline across the
infant mortality rates by about 70% in the past 60 years. The number of deaths per 1000
people from 165 has now gone down to 50 today thanks to the increasing state of medical
infrastructure that has been able to address mortality issues in India amidst the increasing
rate of population. On the other hand the state of child mortality has also seen a positive
transition with the number of deaths per 1000 children declining from 138 to that of 75
today. The state of life expectancy in India has thus multiplied at a rate of 5 per each decade
and the state of fertility rate has also seen a downfall from 6 children to that of women
towards 2.5 per women.
India’s environmental degradation has been severely affected by its massive
population growth, which has adversely affected the environment and natural resources.
Most of the poor in India live in rural areas with agriculture as their main occupation. The
government has initiated many programs in poverty alleviation and employment
development, which help reduce the country’s poverty rate. Population growth helps
reduce the poverty rate in India. India accounted for more than 55% of the country’s
population below the poverty line in 1974, but dropped to 26% in 2000. In terms of
numbers, the number of people living in poverty decreased from 320 million in 1975 to 260
million in 2000.
On the other hand, India’s increasing poverty has affected the daily activities of the
poor and forced them to use ponds and rivers to pollute and discharge their daily activities.
As a result of these interventions, people who use untreated water have poorer health.
Poverty and population growth are affecting environmental challenges throughout India.
Although positive signs of population growth have helped India’s economic growth reduce
unemployment, India still has many environmental problems

Judul : India Extreme Population Growth
I. Introduction
General Statement : The 20th century is an unforgettable timetable for global population
growth. The number of residents has grown from 3 billion to 6 billion in just 40 years
Thesis Statement : India’s growth rate has not been exceptional. Its population standard has
increased from 448 million to a staggering 1.04 billion, and it has now reached 1.21 billion.
BODY :
II. India has faced two key breakthroughs due to overpopulation
A. Changes in the age structure of India’s population have had a significant impact on India’s
economic growth
B. Now the development of young people has become a positive impression of its
demographic status, which has been stimulating economic growth. India's population health
has always been the main driving force for its economic development.
III. The growing population of India has been witnessing a strong decline across the infant
mortality rates by about 70% in the past 60 years.
A. The number of deaths per 1000 people from 165 has now gone down to 50 today thanks
to the increasing state of medical infrastructure
B. . On the other hand the state of child mortality has also seen a positive transition with the
number of deaths per 1000 children declining from 138 to that of 75 today.
C. The state of life expectancy in India has thus multiplied at a rate of 5 per each decade and
the state of fertility rate has also seen a downfall from 6 children to that of women towards
2.5 per women
IV. India’s environmental degradation has been severely affected by its massive population
growth
A. Adversely affected the environment and natural resources. Most of the poor in India live
in rural areas with agriculture as their main occupation.
B. The government has initiated many programs in poverty alleviation and employment
development
C. Population growth helps reduce the poverty rate in India.
D. India accounted for more than 55% of the country’s population below the poverty line in
1974, but dropped to 26% in 2000.
V. Conclusion.
Increasing poverty in India has affected the daily activities of the poor and forced them to
use ponds and rivers to pollute and engage in daily activities. As a result of these
interventions, people who use untreated water have poorer health. Poverty and population
growth are affecting environmental challenges throughout India. Although positive signs of
population growth have helped India’s economic growth reduce unemployment, India still
has many environmental problems
