OVERPOPULATION'S IMPACT ON POVERTY

When there are too many people living in the country, it is said to be overpopulated. Overpopulation is a significant issue on a global scale. World Meter's analysis of the most recent United Nations data indicates that. There are 138 crore people living in India today. Overpopulation is a problem that developing countries deal with more than industrialised ones. Poverty is a result of both overpopulation and unemployment.

Overpopulation has resulted from the population growth over the last few years. Because of the most recent medical advancements and technological advances, the standard of living of humans has increased, which has caused an increase in the birth rate and a decrease in the death rate. For the majority of history, the birth and death rates have been able to balance each other out and keep the population growth rate stable. We should be aware that there is a psychological element to overpopulation when discussing it. Overpopulation is said to be mostly caused by poverty. The main causes of the growing population include a lack of female education, poor family planning, a decline in mortality rates, and a preference for having sons. The main causes of overpopulation include immigration, low access to healthcare, poor contraceptive use, and poverty. Because the world can only generate a finite number of resources, such water and food, overpopulation causes resource depletion.

 Unemployment results from overpopulation since there are not enough jobs to support a huge number of people. People will turn to crime when unemployment rises in order to provide for their family.

The forty-eight poorest nations in the world, according to the UN, are likely to be the main drivers of population expansion. So, in certain ways, poverty is affected by population growth.

The phrase "The Cycle of Poverty" may be one you've heard. The premise that poor parents raise their children in poverty, who are then more likely to become poor parents themselves, is known as the "cycle of intergenerational poverty." It's vital to remember that children are more susceptible than adults to the harmful effects of poverty. Although there are a number of risk factors for poor households (such as single parent or single income households and low parental education), access to the labour market, high-quality childcare, and adequate employment and education for parents offer the best defence against further rising child poverty rates. The two-generation approach, which strives to enhance the family's economic growth and conditions by helping parents both as employees and as parents, is now the most effective method for breaking the cycle of poverty in families. Giving low-income parents the chance to pursue a higher education will provide the

THE IMPACT OF POVERTY ON EDUCATION

  One of the most important factors influencing a person's life is their education. Children from low-income households are unable to invest in their education because the majority of their wages are used to pay for other necessities like food and other essentials, despite the fact that education is the primary factor that can improve a person's life in new ways. Only 6% of low-income households' money is spent on health and education, according to a research. The main problems the world faces are poverty and lack of education. Due to financial difficulties, lower-income families may not send their children to school, or even if they do, they may not receive the required facilities or educational assistance. As a result, even after attending government schools, these children may end up working in menial jobs. hence there is increase in illiteracy. According to the 2011 census, Bihar has the lowest rate of literacy 47% among all the states. Bihar has the lowest
