Overpopulation has become a terrible problem in the world. All of the countries are suffering from this problem directly or indirectly. China, India, Nepal and other countries are suffering from problem. There is regularly change between birth rate and death rate. Birth rate was slightly higher than death rate. Therefore, world population grew at a very slow rate. A few hundred years ago, however the situation began to change, specially in the industrialized countries. With advance in nutrition, sanitation, and health people live longer. For the first time the balance between birth rate and death has been badly disturbed. During the last three centuries, the world population has been rapidly growing up.
Rapid growth of population can be realized in Nepal too. In 1951, Nepal's population was nine million less than a half century later, that number has rose up to 23 million. We can easily assume the future of Nepal with this annual growth rate of 2.5 %. If this is not checked, Nepal's population will be double in just 28 years. By the year 2026, there will be a total of some 46 million.
There is not any advantage of growth of population. Rather there are many disadvantages. Deforestation is result of the over population. Most of the forests have been destroyed for expansion of land or cultivation and also for building houses. Deforestation upsets the natural rain. We have comparatively less rain. Besides, there are landslides. Wild animals disappear which area also part of eco-system. Naturally, we are affected. We have less food. Our environmental conditions decline.
Moreover because of the over population we continue to litter our surroundings. High temperatures, floods, tropical diseases and mass migrations are all the results of over population. The country cannot invest money on development fields. Therefore, Poverty, unemployment, literacy, etc. All rise higher and higher. Therefore, it is necessary to stop and control the increasing rate of population
