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 CYCLE OF POVERTY

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

HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF CHILDHOOD POVERTY

  “Do you want your teeth, or do you want your heart to continue beating? You’ve got to figure out which one and balance it out. Sometimes I’ve had to omit the eyes and the teeth.”  This description focuses on one of the many barriers to health care, in this case cost, as reported by more than 100 relatively healthy, low-income adults in recent Commonwealth Fund. Most people are unaware of how much low-income households and extreme poverty can affect children's health and cognitive development. Poverty, on the other hand, has an impact on growth beginning in early life, beginning with brain development and other bodily systems. Poverty can have a deleterious impact on how the body and mind develop, and economic stress can change the underlying structure of a child's brain. Children who are exposed to risk factors connected with poverty, either directly or indirectly, are more likely to develop poor health problems as adults, such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke, obesity,

Simply put, being unemployed means not having a job. a circumstance where a person is able to work to provide for their fundamental necessities yet is unable to find employment. Poverty breeds unemployment, and unemployment breeds poverty. In general, poverty happens when a person is unable to meet his fundamental needs, including those for food, clothing, and shelter. That is what establishes a connection between unemployment and poverty. There are 97 million individuals in India who live in extreme poverty, out of a total population of 1.39 billion, which has an impact on the country's economy. India's unemployment is caused by a variety of factors, including:- Caste system                                                                                                                                          Due to the prevalent caste system in India, jobs are often allocated to people who belong to a certain community rather than candidates who deserve them, which raises the
