Space and Quality of life as a result of overpopulation
Overpopulation affect everything around us. Air, land, sea, and economy.
Overpopulation lacks space to accomodate it's people, this might mean expanding a city's area. People need space to live, factories, agriculture, need space to be able to produce peoples need, and animal will need their over natural habitat. The world will never cease to have an obsession with space, whether it's too much or too less.
With many people living in packed area such as a metropolitan city or a slum, people will find that there is a large portioned of people who are unemployed. A Guardian News article 'The concern over populated explosion' says that the CIA World Fact book estimates Nigeria’s population to be more than 170million as at July 2012. Nigeria has the potential to produce things like rice and palm oils but instead imports them from other coutries. This lack of development makes it hard to support it's own coutry which is teeming with unemployed people.
Though better hygiene is supposed to be a supporting factor for overpopulation is not the case in all countries. Once again in 3rd worl d countries it is overpopulation fault in the lack of hygiene and medical treatment, but in slums
In urban living enviroment, there is bound to be pollution. Because there are many people in a populated it means that consumables are also needed causing large factories to be built and these factories have a big part in contributing to air pollution.
