The Population Explosion

The population explosion refers to the rapid increase in human numbers observed over the past century, mainly due to improvements in medicine, sanitation, and agriculture reducing death rates. This growth has led to billions more people on Earth, raising concerns about resource availability, environmental impact, and economic development. While some regions experience high birth rates, others see declining populations, creating demographic shifts. Managing this explosion involves balancing population growth with sustainable practices to ensure a better quality of life for future generations.
