Rapid population growth leads to environmental change. It has increased the number of unemployed men and women at an alarming rate. Due to this, a large number of people are being pushed into ecologically sensitive areas such as hillsides and tropical forests. A large population has the potential to be great for economic development, but limited resources and a larger population put pressure on the resources that do exist. Environmental degradation, combined with the growth in the world population, is a major cause of the rapid increase in human diseases, which contributes to the malnutrition of 3.7 billion people worldwide, making them more susceptible to disease.
