Population Explosion

Population explosion refers to a rapid and large increase in the world's or a specific area's population over a short period. This growth often results from improved healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition, which reduce death rates while birth rates remain high. As a consequence, the number of people exceeds the environment's ability to sustainably support them, leading to challenges like resource depletion, environmental degradation, and pressure on services such as healthcare, education, and housing. Managing population growth is essential for ensuring balanced development and the well-being of future generations.
