  1. Defense Ø Large population makes it possible to rally sufficient number of citizens to protect the nation in times of war and any other struggles.

  2. Increase in labor market Ø Increasing population guarantees boost in the labor force.

  3. Large market Ø Increase in population would necessitate more demand for goods and services thereby requiring more supply of such commodities.

Negative Effects

  1. Poverty Ø Resources are limited and continuous increase in population would trigger more problems with respect to scarcity.

  2. Unemployment and Underutilization of labor Ø A consequence if the number of people searching for work exceeds available resources.

  3. Social problems Ø Bribery, human rights violation, prostitution, and armed robbery are some problems due to overpopulation.

  4. A decrease in the standard of living Ø Demand for basic necessities and essential commodities become highly competitive. Those who can afford are in better shape bringing a wide gap and a fall in the standard of living for those who are deprived and underprivileged.

  5. Increase in Government expenses Ø Public expenditure is spending made by the government of a country on collective needs and wants of its people such as education, health, pension, provision, and infrastructure to name a few.

  6. Shortage of food Ø Increase in population = more mouths to feed. However, population increases at a much rapid pace compared to food production, resulting in shortage in the supply of food.

  7. Difficulty in educating the children Ø This is especially true for poor families who have a hard time meeting both ends meet, much more sending their children to school. Education becomes less of a priority. Young children are exposed and forced to find work in order to have means to buy food. The need to survive is of utmost importance.
