Abstract :

Past, Present & Future Trends of Population Growth and Distribution among Major Regions of the World; presented in this study. The study is based mainly on data compiled and published in the past by many stake holders. Population growth raises demand for food. Problems in food production are particularly difficult for some developing countries with high population growth rates and low technological changes in agriculture. Rapid population growth tends to impact the interactions between human beings and their environment. An increasing number of people in the population lead to pressures on land resources limit the amount of arable agricultural land and tend to worsen the situation of food supply and human reproduction. Furthermore a high rate of population growth is likely to increase population density in certain geographic areas, particularly urban settings. As a result overcrowding, unemployment, and poverty are likely to lead to social problems in some localities
