Document Summary

Low standard of living, inequality, high child mortality rate, gender discrimination etc. and many other problems are the product of rapid population growth. No one can deny the fact that the world population is increasing (i. e. 4 kids in every seconds) (as cited by worldmeters). Ironically, most of this population is in the less developed countries( i. e. pakistan, nigeria etc. ). (todaro and smith, 2012). Firstly, i would like to highlight the problems which less developed , poor countries are facing in regard to their increasing population. Most of the poor, less ,developed countries are heavily dependent on the agriculture and are less urbanized. In most of the poor countries each member of the family is considered as an earning hand that is way people tend to have larger families to fulfill their basic needs. High illiteracy means increase in child mortality and poor health of mother and child.
