LO: Examine the relationship between the population of an area and it's resources
Key terms
Overpopulation: is when there is not enough resources for the inhabitants in an area. Inevitably this leads to famine, water and electricity shortages, increased unemployment.
Underpopulation: is when there is more resources than inhabitants in an area. Surplus in food and water results in wastes. Societal systems such as schools and hospitals will then not have enough demand to run at a sustainable level. So the cost per capita for the service will increase. Additionally, there will be less "working population" this has a negative impact on a countries economy and will lead to an increase in taxation.
