In simple terms, population growth refers to an increase in the number of people inhabiting a particular location due to a big increase in their birth rate or migration. The population explosion is the cause of population growth. The term "population explosion" refers to a sudden increase in the number of people in a specific area. It is one of the most common natural disasters people face today. However, we must be aware of the negative effects of population growth and learn how to control it.
When population growth is not controlled in a particular area, it leads to an increase in the population of that area. Our country, Nepal, is also facing this problem, which is still not controlled. Population growth is caused by people’s carelessness. Technology can also be said to be one of the major causes of population growth because, due to the new things that help or make pregnancy easier, many child births happen frequently, which increases the population day by day. Moreover, new technologies have the ability to save lives and create better medical care for all. A direct result of this is increased life expectancy and population growth. Marriage can also be referred to as the cause of population growth because it is most likely that we will get pregnant when we marry. Migrating from one place to another is also one of the causes of population growth.
Many people need to be aware of this population, as we have to face negative consequences if we do not start taking the term "population growth" or "population explosion" seriously.
We must decrease population growth by arranging awareness campaigns, using technology wisely, giving people education so they are aware of population growth, etc.
Therefore, we must make everyone aware of this population growth and put an end to it. Since the 1950s, we have seen the population explode day by day and no one is taking it seriously. However, we must work together to find a proper solution to end this sudden population growth in a particular area.
