Immigration: Overpopulation, Economics, Poverty And Resources
By:
Published: November 8, 2007
In the study of economics, the condition in which the number of inhabitants surpasses the carrying capacity of its environment is called overpopulation. The carrying capacity is the amount of organisms a specific area is able to support in terms of food, shelter, health care and other resources. The condition of overcrowding is considered as one of the major problems of the world today.
Some of the disadvantageous consequences include deforestation, global warming, pollution, water inadequacy, contamination, organism extinction, starvation, decreased life expectancy, mortality, unemployment, weakened economics, famine, conflict development, malnutrition and resource shortage.
The ecological factors most affected by the rapidly growing population crisis are the resources. An increase in the number of residents of a particular area requires a higher amount of resources such as water, food, habitation, clothing, medicine, energy, money and even jobs. Man's lack of sympathy for the environment also contributes to the world's budding trouble with the possible exhaustion of its resources. This crisis may be dealt with through the conservation of water, the recycling of items, the planting of more trees, the procreation of more animals, the usage of eco-friendly items, the segregation of waste materials and the prevention of any form of pollution. If the overcrowding dilemma is not controlled sooner, the world may experience a depletion when it comes to its resources.
In economics, movement or flow of populations from a particular place to another is described as immigration. The process of immigration is considered as both a cause and an effect of overpopulation. Immigration causes overcrowding by providing an additional number of citizens in a specific country. Meanwhile, immigration is also regarded as a side effect; an excess in the population in a given area will later result to an increase in the immigration rate of another region. There are a lot of reasons why people resort to immigration, but a major reason is to experience better lifestyles. The effects of immigration vary because it may result to either convenience and prosperity or crisis and poverty.
One of the negative effects of an increase in the immigration rate is of course, poverty. The indicating factors of extreme poorness include an increased number of homeless people, an elevated rate of unemployment, a decreased value of monetary units, a raised insufficiency of food and a heightened deficiency of resources. The problem of poverty is hard to alleviate because of certain reasons. Some of these reasons include laziness and tardiness, continuous political abuse, strong discrimination, inevitable inequality, infinite complains and insatiability, human selfishness, economic monopoly and ineffective governance.
It seems to be a damaging cycle when it comes to overpopulation, immigration and the depletion of resources. Each aspect affects the other, augmenting the detrimental side effects of each as well. Until humans can learn to live a sustainable existence and cease destructive habits, this devastating cycle will continue.
