Population explosion refers to the rapid increase in human population size. The major causes of population explosion are increased birth rates, decreased mortality rates, improved healthcare, and technological advancements. With the advancement of medical sciences and improvements in healthcare facilities, mortality rates have decreased rapidly, while the birth rate has remained relatively high. Due to this, the number of people living with medical issues has increased, adding to the already rising population. Furthermore, the industrial revolution and technological advancements have made it possible to produce more food, provide clean water, and extend life expectancy, which further contributes to the population explosion. Additionally, migration has contributed greatly to this growth, further adding to the existing population of the country.
