India’s Growth Held Back from Overpopulation

Population has a greater input then any single factor that seems to best generate the difference between middle income nations and poor ones. At roughly 1.2 billion inhabitants as of now, India's population is projected to grow to 1.8 billion before stabilizing around the middle of this century. The more people they have to concern and work with the more likely they are to have problems that come up when everyone’s interacting in the same area feeding off each other and possibly bringing them down also. In Delhi the capital of India there has been a struggle to earn a stable life and it is always being greatly interrupted by all that affect them. It is hard to mask the stresses on a city that adds seven hundred thousand inhabitants every year cramping them into crowded slums of flimsy shacks where the infrastructure is most likely illegal. It is sad that they cant live in the country because it is not possible for them to be sustainable their. Instead they are caught in places where there is a lack of easy access to life’s most basic need water. Tons have to wait for the municipal water truck for them to even get some of the only clean safe water they can get besides when it rains. Others have no roofs or shelter on their head of some may have no safe food to eat. Along with the necessities many are forced to share inadequate public toilets that lead to people using the open creating harsh smells everywhere in the air they breathe in. However critical improvement that has already arrived across the spectrum and has gained better access to basic health services growing economic opportunity and an over healthier living area for them all.
