Currently, India's population stands at a formidable 1.27 billion and is estimated to reach 1.6 billion people by 2050. What will happen if countries like l 'India continue to grow?

There are numerous factors contributing to the exponential population growth over the past fifty years. The main reason for this growth is the result of the improvement in living standards over the years. The advancement of technology has improved the medical field, which has led to the discovery of new treatments for diseases, people being less susceptible to disease, and, in general, people living longer. Secondly, there have been fewer wars than in the past, which has caused a rapid decline in deaths and greater tranquility in humanity. Another factor that contributes to overpopulation is the mentality that a family must have a male to carry their last name. Many countries, especially less developed ones, prioritize men over women for this reason. Finally, unwanted pregnancies contribute to overpopulation due to the general lack of knowledge about sexual intercourse and birth control in most societies. As a result, overpopulation has many negative effects. Most of the critical environmental problems today are the result of excessive consumption, which coincides with and is caused by overpopulation.
