Economic Development - Does not refer to the total

development of a society. - It is only a part or a dimension of national development. - There can be economic development, not only in industrialization but also, in

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. - merely a rise in the Gross National Product. -

Gross National Product - total amount of goods and

services that a country produces in a given year. - the measure of the value of all final goods and services produced and then sold in a market at any given year produced by firms with

Problems encountered: An accelerating rapid growth can aggravate the problem of rising capital cost. Everything normally taken ( land, living space, fresh water and clean air), becomes COSTLY in a crowded and increasingly

As Population INCREASES, MORE capital outlays are required to provide the people with human necessities. HOME

Population

growth has outstripped increases in food production. The per capita food production DROPPED because of high population growth rate. .

It

is estimated that at least half of our children are either MALNOURISHED or UNDERNOURISHED. If we are to avoid having billions of people alive but INADEQUATELY FED, we will need to at least triple the present food supply.

This could be enhanced by -bringing new land under cultivation -making better use of land already cultivated -increasing the food supply of food taken from water sources -producing non-agricultural food -improving the processing and distribution of food -persuading people to eat food NOW COSIDERABLE INEDIBLE & WASTED HOME

►MORE

schools, classrooms and other materials to be needed by the children. ►The quality of education is difficult to measure.

►Substantial

portion of the effort and money devoted to primary education is wasted. ►Statements on record by the Secretary of Education Jesli Lapus lament a deterioration in the quality of education.

One can infer that educational quality has been a frequent casualty of rapid population HOME

Direct demand that more population creates the need for more health services.  Additional health workers will be recruited by the Department of Health to meet the increasing demands for health services now available and additional health personnel for new types of services and activities that will have to be provided for. 

 The

number of units of the various health services needs to be increased proportionally if the same general level of health services is to be maintained.  This does not take into account increases in health HOME

Overpopulation and industrialization have contributed in various ways to the general deterioration of the environment upon which humanity is completely dependent for life.

Pollution -most obvious aspect of environmental deterioration. Pollutants - Reach us through the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and sound we hear.

 Air pollution is now recognized not only as an agent that rots nylon stockings, corrodes paint and steel, blackens skies, and washes on the clothes line and damages millions of pesos worth of crops annually.  The country has not been able to improve the air quality in spite of the strenuous effort to control air pollution because of population growth.

 Even though the per capita amount of pollution has declined., the number of people increased.

More people = more business + more industry = attract more people

•As population grows, its

need for water also grows. •As population grows, so do industries, which pour into our water supplies a vast array of contaminants.

•As population grows so does

the need for increased agricultural production which results in a heavier waterborne load of pesticides, herbicides and nitrates. •As a result, pollution spreads in streams, rivers, lakes, along the seashores and in ground water. HOME

More

people will mean less jobs because there are more workers than the jobs available. If there are so many unemployed, problems may arise such as poverty, juvenile delinquency and also several number of crimes. HOME
