    Overpopulation in Nigeria

    Uploaded by

    Ebo Dennis
    Overpopulation in Nigeria leads to issues like traffic congestion from many cars on roads, pollution from increased waste, depletion of natural resources from land clearing for housing and facilities, overcrowded slums as affordable housing is limited, unemployment as many youths are unqualified for jobs, conflicts over exploitation of resources which can lead to war, increased government debt from frequent borrowing to fund services, and strain on healthcare and school systems. Underpopulation in Australia results in underutilization of resources, job and labor shortages, difficulty defending itself during war with a small population, businesses closing due to lack of customers, higher taxes to support retired populations, slower development as needs are considered fully met, and potential threats to local culture from many immigrants

    Overpopulation in Nigeria

    Traffic:

    Since there are more people living in the country than the country can cater for it
    will lead to ineffective movement to different places because there are many cars
    on the roads.

    Pollution:

    Since more people end up discarding waste, it could lead to pollution of water
    bodies, the air and also soil contamination.

    Depletion of natural resources:

    When there are too many people living in a country, there is the need to clear the
    land for houses hotels and many other facilities. This leads to degradation of the
    land, forests and loss of animal habitats. Noise nuisances are also caused by
    overpopulation.

    Overcrowded slums:

    Poverty is a problem in a country like Nigeria and houses are not very affordable.
    Due to this issue, people who migrate to the urban areas retort to building houses
    illegally in unauthorized areas which gradually lead to building of slums. This
    problem is also the cause of improper sanitation in Nigeria.

    Unemployment:

    In Nigeria, the problem of overpopulation causes unavailability of jobs. Many of the


    youth who are unqualified are denied jobs. This situation can lead to an increase in
    the crime wave or even child abuse

    Conflicts and wars:

    When there is a overexploitation of natural resources conflicts arise since people


    believe that they have been denied their basic rights. This could further lead to
    severe wars.

    Constant increase in debt:

    Over population can be a cause of a government going close to bankrupt. When this
    occurs the government begins to borrow money from other countries under certain
    consequences. The government keeps borrowing leading to a huge debt to be paid.

    Strain on healthcare facilities and schools:

    When there are many people in the country there is constant strain on healthcare
    facilities and schools as well. This is why 1 doctor caters for about 3700 people in
    the population.

    Under population in Australia

    Under exploitation/utilization of resources:


    In Australia, natural resources are not effectively used due to under
    population.
    Job vacancies or shortage of workers is a major problem in Australia since
    there are less people in the population and even less people who undertake
    certain professions.
    It is very difficult for a country like Australia to defend itself in times of war
    due to little human resource
    In Australia businesses are very likely to close especially when there is lack of
    customers. This also scares away investors from the country
    The people are made to pay higher taxes since there are many people retired
    in the country. The government uses these taxes to pay pensioners.
    Slow or less development since the country believes the needs of the people
    are fully catered for. This is another cause of low optimum productivity.
    If a country is under populated, it is likely to be more attractive to foreign
    immigrants. If too many come in, then locals may feel that their culture is
    threatened.
    The problem of under population can lead to further population decline
