Overpopulation
1. Trace the historical events and
circumstances that affect World Population
through the years.

2. Enumerate the causes and effects of


overpopulation to the social, economic,
and political aspects of society.
term referring to the
total human inhabitants
of a specified area, such
as a city, country, or
continent, at a given
time.
Study of the population
It is concerned with the following:
Size
Composition
distribution of populations
their patterns of change over time
through births, deaths, and migration;
and the determinants and
consequences of such changes.
It is an interdisciplinary field
involving mathematics and statistics,
biology, medicine, sociology,
economics, history, geography, and
anthropology.
Its beginning often is dated from the
publication in 1798 of An Essay on the
Principle of Population by the British
economist Thomas Robert Malthus.
Malthus warned of the constant tendency
for human population growth to outstrip
food production and classified the various
ways that such growth would, in
consequence, be slowed.
He distinguished between “positive
checks” to population growth (such as
war, famine, and disease) and
“preventive checks” (celibacy and
contraception).

World Population
Identify an
overpopulated country
and know how it
affects the people way
of life.
Mexico’s rapid population
growth has severely strained
government services, especially
education and health care. This
growing population has placed
tremendous pressure on the
government and economy to create
new jobs.
The economy has not been able
to create enough jobs to keep up
with population growth. Economic
conditions have prompted
thousands of skilled and unskilled
workers to migrate north to the
United States in search of
employment.
