There are many different possible answers to this question, each being as plausible as the other. Most scholars, however, argue today that this population explosion is due mainly to one factor.
1.) A general evolution in medicine and medical technologies. Each year fewer and fewer people are dying from illnesses once considered incurable and terminal. This exponential population growth began roughly around the time of the industrial revolution was in full swing.

Why were there so many poor people in Tudor times?
During the 15th and 16th centuries the number of jobs available to people had not kept pace with the growth of the population. Bad weather had led to harvest failures which in turn had led to food shortages and high prices. The growth in sheep farming brought about an increase in unemployment for rural labourers. Whilst agricultural enclosures did not have a great effect in Herefordshire until the 17th century (and parliamentary enclosures until the 19th century), Herefordshire did not have a thriving handicraft industry, nor were there mineral or mining industries. Bad roads and transportation made it difficult for people to sell goods outside the county at competitive prices. As a result there were many very poor people.

The Black Death hit Europe in the mid 14th century with devastating consequences what was not a result of this plague?
The Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague, swept through Europe in the mid-14th century and had devastating consequences, leading to the deaths of an estimated 25 million people. As a result of the plague, the population of Europe was greatly reduced, and the economy and social structure were permanently altered. One thing that was not a result of the plague was the widespread adoption of modern medical practices. Despite the devastation caused by the plague, medical knowledge and practices remained relatively unchanged in the immediate aftermath. It was not until centuries later that significant advances were made in the understanding and treatment of infectious diseases. While the Black Death had many far-reaching and long-lasting consequences, it did not lead to the immediate development of modern medical practices. Instead, it served as a catalyst for changes in social and economic systems that would shape Europe for centuries to come.
