Over Population Developing Countries

Over Population Developing Countries

Over Population Developing countries have a very high population growth rate which leads to general poverty in these countries. Not only are these countries already overpopulated, but their growth rates are even higher. For both reasons, it seems that these countries will not be able to get out of the vicious circle of poverty in the future. Population growth takes three different forms.

The burden of the dependent population on the earning population increases. With fewer earning hands and more eating mouths, the circle of poverty also widens. High mortality rates and low mortality rates lead to rapid population growth. With the increase in population, the problem of hidden unemployment among the rural people has intensified goes in.

In developed countries, the population is not large enough to become a burden on resources, nor is the annual growth rate high enough to cause a significant increase in population. That is why these countries

The resources are being used efficiently and the per capita income is steadily increasing every year due to the adequate population.

Developing countries with large populations and annual growth rates include Indonesia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Uganda, Brazil, Sudan, etc.

One of the reasons for the high population is the low mortality rate. Mortality rates have dropped due to scientific research, medical inventions, and the expansion of medical facilities. Population growth has also increased due to lower mortality rates.

General Backwardness

One of the characteristics of backward countries is that they generally like the quality of performance. Individuals' abilities are by no means commendable. There are many reasons for general backwardness. 

(i) Food:

The average per capita food intake in underdeveloped countries is very low while the per capita food standard is high in developed countries. 2529 calories per person in Pakistan

Is obtained and contains 70 grams of protein per day. In a country like Denmark, each person gets 3,500 calories of food. The per capita diet in Pakistan includes 70 grams of protein per day while in the United States it is 100 grams per person.

More protein is obtained daily. Lack of food affects performance.

(ii) Climate:

The climate of most of the backward countries is hot and humid but very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Severe hair conditions severely affect people's performance. Developed countries technology has created conditions that allow him to easily cope with the harsh weather. These countries have extensive arrangements for keeping offices and homes warm in winter and cool in summer. In this way, the performance of the people of these countries remains high.

(iii) Medical facilities:

In backward countries, people often fight. People do not have the ability to function due to illness. Absence from work for a long time during and after the illness. The medical facilities and services provided by doctors during the illness are so limited that the average person remains weak, emaciated, selfless and in love for most of the year. These constraints affect the speed of work.

Average age:

One of the major reasons for the backwardness of people in backward countries is that their average age is very low. The average number of years a person lives is short. The longer the average age, the longer people work, create things for themselves and others, and the nation stays afloat. The average age is higher in developed countries. More or less an individual in the United States. He lives for 77 years while the average age in Pakistan is 62 years. The average age of people in the UK is 76 years, 72 years in Sri Lanka. In underdeveloped countries, the average life expectancy is lower, so everyone works shorter hours, and dying early does not increase national income much. 

High infant mortality rate:

Backward countries not only have higher birth rates but also higher infant mortality rates. This mortality rate is detrimental. A lot of money is spent on the birth and upbringing of children and they die before they reach puberty. Deaths before puberty cause our resources to be spent on children who do not expect to be reimbursed. Loss of resources increases backwardness.

Hidden unemployment

Due to the lack of employment opportunities in backward countries, most people work less than they actually do. The general estimate is that there are far more people in the fields than are needed. According to a United Nations report, 20 to 25 per cent of the people in Pakistan are apparently working, but removing them from the fields will not affect agricultural production. These are the people who are counted in hidden unemployment, that is, those who are unemployed but do not look good. These people take care of the farming work for a while by reducing the time of others for no reason and they are suffering from the understanding that we are employed. This hidden unemployment is reducing overall performance. An individual does not work as many hours as he should. In developed countries, the hidden unemployment is very low and the general unemployment is very low.

Manpower loss:

Due to the large population in the backward countries, more work would be needed and the pace of development should be faster, but the situation is the opposite. Manpower is available, but most of it is wasted due to limited sources of employment. The general estimate is that out of 100 people, 30 are able to work. 10 of them are looking for job opportunities but are currently unemployed. Process 20% of people are working. Who have to support 100 people. This is the situation in Pakistan. The situation is no different in other developing countries. In contrast, in developed countries, every individual is the star of the nation's destiny. There is no general unemployment or hidden. Every individual works and performs his duties diligently. The number of able-bodied people there is more than 60%, while in most backward countries it is 20-30%.

Lack of mobility:

Manpower is available in developing countries but lacks mobility. Working people do not like to leave their homeland, province or district because of love of area, attachment to parents, community relations, devotion to language.
