Human Population and Development: Sometimes Population Is Constructive or Destructive

The book "Human population and Development" is a practical fields directly related to the human population and development. Activities involving production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services as a whole, range from engineering to management and business administration to applied science to finance are performed by human being. So, all activities taking place on the Planet earth in order to bring development are undertaken by human being. Therefore; all kinds of professions, occupations, economic activities, are related to the contribution of human population. The book also exposes the general idea about positive and negative impacts caused by fast rate increase of population. Any kind of sustainable development, should integrate with population sustainability for bringing the equilibrium between the present population and the available resources on the area. Population can be unsustainable if: it is rapid population growth, cause overconsumption to the available resources, led to the loss of biodiversity, influence environmental pollution and degradation due to poor management. For most people, aspiring to a better quality of life means improving their standards of living as measured by income level and use of resources and technology. However, sustainable development also requires equity. For example, economic and environmental goals will not be sustainable unless social goals - such as universal access to education, health care and economic opportunity - are also achieved. At any level of development, human impact (I) on the environment is a function of population size (P), per capita consumption (C) and the environmental damage caused by the technology (T) used to produce what is consumed. This relationship is often described as a formula: I = P X C X T Currently, people living in the North have the greatest impact on the global environment. However, as standards of living rise in the South, the environmental consequences of population growth will increase. Ever-increasing numbers of people aspiring, justifiably, to 'live better', also increases the potential for damage to the environment beyond what we are already witnessing. The debate over the environmental challenges of population growth cannot be reduced to assigning blame. Patterns of consumption and resource use in the industrialized countries of the North are certainly responsible for much environmental degradation in both the North and South. However, growing populations, whatever their levels of consumption, also place a burden on resources and the environment. Both current and new consumers need to address the consequences of their level There is the relationship between number human population and specific country's development through; Population provides labor supply in all productive activities, Population provides markets for market products, Population act as the sources in development of science and technology, Population is the means in solving population problems in social and economic development. The identification of matching relationship is identified through indicators of economic development like; GDP per capital, Literate rate, Poverty rate, Life expectancy, Percentage of people employed in agricultural sector and other sectors, Means of transport most used, kind of diseases do attack the population.
