The uncontrolled growth of population has an adverse effect on the development. As more is the population and more is the requirement of resources. Every year around one fifth of billion people are added to the population. There is requirement of 15 million jobs and 10 million seats in the school. It is directly proportional to the transport facility, health care system and accommodation. There are very few natural resources. The cultivated land is almost the same or decreases. No job in the village is generated where 3/4th of the Indian population lives. The towns, roads, canals and railway lines have developed with increase in the growth of population. The rural youth shifts to the town and cities. They search for better jobs and opportunities. This development of towns on the basis of rural people is known as the urbanization. The uncontrolled growth may lead to overcrowding, housing, traffic problems, sewage disposal, water, crime and the high cost of living. As the people shift from the villages to towns and cities, they become overcrowded. It is very difficult to maintain sanitation and to have the sewage disposal system in slums. The amount of work involved and the breakdown of sewage cause the problem in sewage disposal. The untidy conditions and sewage disposal problems make the population prone to the diseases. There is also trouble in controlling the traffic. As more is the population more is the requirement of 2 to 3 wheelers. This may lead to increase in the pollution levels. This proves to be hazardous for the health of individual. The area of town and cities remain static. As the population increases one needs more area to built houses and industries. So the people live in the overcrowded places and in the slums. It leads to the imbalance in mental development of young children. It is very difficult to provide a clean drinking water to the population. As we have limited ground resources. The lakes and rivers are also limited and the industries consume a large amount of water. As the population increases the demand of natural resources and artificial resources increases which may lead to the intraspecies competition. It can increase the crime rate too. The price of food, land and fuel increases. The per capita income decreases which occurs due to the increase in growth of population. The chances of getting unemployed also increases as there are more people and the jobs are few. It may lead to the gambling habit of people. The educational facilities are also adversely affected.
There are a lot of differences between the growth of population in the developed as well as developing countries. In the developed countries the rate of growth is around 1 percent while the rate of growth in the developing countries is higher around 2.5 percent. The growth of the population is inversely related to the industrial development and the degree of education. In the developed countries marriages occur at the later age and people follow very few religious taboo. The education is the primary aim of the citizens and they happily accept the family planning technique. They have better job conditions. However, in the developing countries marriages occur at the early age and people follow many religious taboo. The education is not the primary aim of the citizens and they are reluctant to accept the family planning technique. They have fewer job opportunities. The government takes a good care of its citizens and provides proper nutrition, health care, hygiene and the civic amenities. These steps are taken by the developed country government. In developing countries the government is not accountable for all these resources.
