Why Is the population of the world increasing?

The population of the world is growing very fast and there are different factors which are responsible for this. The highest increase has been seen in Asia as compare to the other continents. In some states, the population growth rate is minus. The major reason of increasing population is the increase in the birth rate and decrease in the death rate. The increasing birth rate is because of the illiteracy and unawareness among the people. People in South Asia also consider their kids as the future earners therefore, more children strategy is being followed by people in rural areas. Death rate has declined because of the medical facilities. Therefore, I think that increasing birth rate and declining death rate are two major factors which are increasing world's population.

Population at the time of human origin was comparitively less as compared to recent population. People are unawared and illiterate. Poor people think that having more children would increase income of family, but they don't think about the expenditure on the children to uplift them.

Too many people have too many babies.  The aren't enough famines, plagues, or natural disasters to keep the population under control.
