INTRODUCTION
Theworld populationis the total
number of livinghumansonEarth. In
June, 2013United NationsDepartment
of Economic and Social Affairs,
Population Division estimated that as
of 2010, the world population was
6.916billion.
As of today's date, the world
population isestimated by theUnited
States Census Bureauto be 7.193
billion and is increasing at a very
alarming rate.
POPULATION EXPLOSION
The world has experiencedcontinuous
growth since the end of theGreat
Famineand theBlack Deathin 1350,
when it was near 370million.
The highest growth rates global
population increases above 1.8% per
year occurred briefly during the
1950s, and for longer during the
1960s and 1970s.
The global growth rate peaked at
2.2% in 1963, and has declined to
below 1.1% as of 2012.
POPUALTION EXPLOSION
Commonly known as Human
overpopulation.
Human overpopulationoccurs if the
number of people in a group exceeds
thecarrying capacity of a region
occupied by that group.
Thecarrying capacity is known as
biologicalspeciesin anenvironmentis
the maximum population size of the
species that the environment can
sustain indefinitely given
food,habitat,waterand other necessities
available in the environment..

CONSEQUENCES OF
OVERPOPULATION
SOLUTION/CONTROL
Human population controlis the
practice of artificially altering the rate
ofgrowth of a human population.
Historically human population control has
been implemented with the goal of
increasing the rate of population growth.
In the period from the 1950s to the 1980s,
concerns about global population growth
and its effects on poverty, environmental
degradation and political stability led to
efforts to reduce population growth rates.
OUTCOME....
There are many reasons and
consequences which are the result of
human population explosion.
The result which comes out is very
severe if the population will keep on
rising at the same rate.
Hence we all need to imply a effective
measures in order to control the
population so that the stress which it
is implementing on the environment
and natural resources should be
lowered or decreases.
