Migration affects both the place of origin and the

place of destination on the various aspects such
as:

- settlement, over-exploitation of resources,
and the pollution of different kinds will be
visible.
• Economic aspects
- the consequence on the place of origin will
be a loss of economically active groups of the
population.
GLOBAL MIGRATION

• Health and Social aspects

- the places of destination are normally those
places where facilities are made available to a
limited extent so as to fulfill the needs of the
native dwellers. However, the places overcrowd
with the constant flow of migrants, and facilities
and other needs become insufficient

GLOBAL POPULATION & DEMOGRAPHICS

• Population

• a group of individuals of the same species living and

interbreeding within a given area.
• They often rely on the same or similar resources, are subject
to similar environmental constraints, and depend on the
availability of other members to persist over time.
• population ecologists rely on a series of statistical measures,
known as demographic parameters, to describe that
population (Lebreton et al. 1992). The field of science
interested in collecting and analyzing these numbers is
termed population demographics, also known as
demography.
• 360,000 births per day • 151,600 people die each day
• 15,000 births each hour • 6,316 people die each hour
GLOBAL POPULATION & DEMOGRAPHICS
OVER POPULATION

Health effects:
• Fast spreading of diseases
• Deadlier Mutation of diseases
• Fewer Supply of Medicine
• More polluted water, air and ressources
• Malnutrition
GLOBAL POPULATION & DEMOGRAPHICS

Economic Effects of Over Population:

• shortage of food, minerals, fuel and other resources due to
higher demand and over consumptions

• Higher demand of goods = less supply = Higher prices

• More GMO and synthetic products
