EFFECTS OF OVERPOPULATION ON COST OF LIVING 3Chapter1: INTRODUCTIONBackground Population refers to the number of organisms in an area over a given time (Simon, 2014).Therefore, human population would refer to as the total sum of people living in a country.Various factors not limited to access to good health care, sanitation, increased income,technological improvements and availability of immunization as well as access to clean waterhave changed the size and the structure of population(Lanrewaju, (2012 ).Australia is among the most urbanized countries of the world with youthful populationmaking the better part of its population composition (Sharon, de Weck, & Dori, 2014). Theyouthful composition is rapidly causing rise in dependency ratio. Currently, most youth arefinding settlement in urban areas of Australia with or without employment and as this trendcontinues the level of disproportions and inequities upsurges to a considerable number in growthand development for instance few doctors attending to many patients.Simon (2014) posits that the population of any place at any given time should haveavailable food to sustain it for a longer period of time. Therefore the question of availability offood and population growth need to be taken seriously by the government simply because thereis a direct link between food and population growth. The world demographic statistics point atserious change in population even though the changes are not uniform across the countriesbecause of various factor faced by individual country.Effects of overpopulation on the cost living are of great import to study bearing in mindthe weight it has on the humanity in Australia. Human overpopulation is predominantly amongthe most pressing environmental matters accelerating the skyrocketing of the cost of living.
EFFECTS OF OVERPOPULATION ON COST OF LIVING 4Overpopulation has seen consumption and use of natural resources at speeds faster than theirrenewal. It has brought to effect the following; inadequacy of fresh water. According to UN-Water, 75% of the planet earth is covered by water. This 75% is further sub-divided into freshand salty water whereby only 1% makes the fresh water that is accessible for direct humanconsumption. Therefore, according to the projections by UN, by 2025 the demand for water islikely to increase to 70% thereby putting the humanity at stake. The stake here is seen as global water crisis people are likely to face by 2030 since theuse is at faster rate than that the rate of replenishment. Secondly, increased human diseases is asa result of high population growth this according to World Health Organization. According toVan den Eede, Heffernan, Aylwar, Hobson, Neels, Mueller, & Covaci, (2015), overpopulationaggravates several social and environmental factors not limited to crowded living conditions,malnutrition and pollution which cause strain on the limited health care consequently increasingthe cost of health. Thirdly, natural resource depletion comes to the fore when human populationbursts. Natural resources like fresh water reduce due to overconsumption by the ever swellingpopulation. Fourth, increased crime rate is witnessed as the exploding population demands andcompetes for the slimming resources. When competition for the few resources increases, vices like theft comes into play forsurvival consequently the cost of security elevates. The research proposal will revolve around theeffects of overpopulation on the cost of living and the adoptions to control overpopulation inAustralia as an urbanized country with a range of pressures resulting from population growth.This study will and look at green house emission leading to global warming and then on the costof living and possibly see if there is need to have the Australian population (Van den Eede,Heffernan, Aylward, Hobson, Neels, Mueller & Covaci, 2015).
