What social problems have the rapid population growth brought to India?

The rapid population growth has brought the following social problems to India:

1. Food problem

According to the report of the World Food Program, although India is one of the major food producers in the world, there are still 1/4 malnourished hungry people in the world. The negative impact of population growth has become a realistic problem that India is trying to solve.

2. Employment problem

In India, many people are unemployed because they can't find jobs, which will lead to a population disaster. If the government cannot provide young people with a proper job and does not manage them, this group will bring many hidden dangers to the country.

3. Education issues

At present, the Indian government has implemented many policies such as universal compulsory education and vocational training programs, hoping to turn the population burden into available human resources through these efforts. However, due to the large population, it is difficult to allocate educational resources in place.

4. Social security issues

In India, where the population growth is too large, the population structure presents a positive pyramid shape, with the largest proportion of teenagers at the bottom of the population pyramid, and the population age structure is younger. In such a population structure society, labor resources are absolutely sufficient, which is very conducive to the development of labor secret enterprises. However, in such a society, economic development is often not so full, the demand for labor by enterprises is often lower than the growth of population, and more people are unemployed at home because they can't find jobs. Even those who have jobs, due to fierce competition, the general salary is relatively low, and people's living standards will be relatively low. The rapid growth of population leads to increasing employment pressure.

5. Racial issues

India is a multilingual, multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Although there is only one official nation, that is, the "Indian nation", "ethnic problems" are almost everywhere. As far as northeast India is concerned, due to geographical factors, a considerable number of residents from different countries have entered the region for various reasons in history, resulting in great differences in local nationalities, religions and cultures. After India's independence, ethnic separatist forces and terrorism have emerged in this region, which has become a difficult problem for the Indian government for a long time.

6. Unfair distribution of social resources and environmental degradation.

The rapid growth of population will inevitably require more resources and space, and there will be more pollution in the process of development. Population growth will make the contradiction between man and environment more and more prominent.

In addition, the difficulties encountered in transportation, urban construction, housing construction, medical care and employment are also closely related to the rapid population growth.
