Explanation:

This rapid population growth has an adverse effect on the natural resources and quality of life.

However, overpopulation has a deleterious effect on the environment due to the current lifestyle.

There would be rampant exploitation of natural resources, excess human waste accumulation, chances of epidemics, etc.

Besides, it would also lead to socio-economic problems like poverty, malnutrition, violence, corruption, etc.

Human overpopulation occurs if the number of people in a group exceeds the carrying capacity of the region occupied by that group.
