Overpopulation

Overpopulation is part of the resource imperative because in some countries, the population grows rapidly and in large amount. This is a disadvantage because the country’s land is not sufficient for all those people; the government then have no choice but to provide facilities for them, for example, they build more hospitals, more schools, etc. As the government is using more of the land, the farmers then lack space to cultivate which leads to starvation. In order to create those facilities, the country needs money, which cannot be afforded by that country. For example in Rwanda, most people move from the rural areas to the urban areas looking for jobs such as domestic workers. If the birth rate in that country is also high that causes overpopulation as well. As a result of the increasing population, all living things on this planet are threatened. As more space is needed for people there is less space for wildlife; as more land is needed for farms there is less room for wilderness. Soon, the increase in the world's human population means that we will be in danger of living in a world which is much less rich than in the past.
