What is one benefit to a healthier population?

Answer 1

Health is an important composition of population composition affecting the process of development. A healthy population is an asset to the country

Advantages of a healthier population :

• everyone would be happier!! We would have more energy, our spouses, children, parents, grandparents, friends etc. would live long energetic lives

• we would be paying less taxes for the sick people that tax payers foot the bill for

• people wouldn't go bankrupt from paying out the *** for medical bills when they are poorly insured for major illnesses

• Even minor illnesses can be a major financial burden for people in addition to all the prescription pills that they have to buy. That money could be spent building our economy

• instead of being in debt forever and a day, people could pay off their credit cards which in turn benefit the companies that loan to them.

• He or she is able to realise his or her potential, and play an important role in social and national development.

Answer 2

Personally, I can only think of one advantage of having a high Birth Rate, and that is that when there is also a high Death Rate, having more children will increase the chance of at least one of them surviving. People will prefer to have more children in places such as Africa, Southern Italy etc instinctively, as it keeps the human race going forward...

Answer 3

You might mean "out population" in which case, such as between the Flemish and the Walloons, one overpowers the other.

Some possible advantages of overpopulation are: (this is a stretch as way more disadvantages of overpopulation come to mind)

1. In overpopulated conditions, there are more inventions and construction to help deal with burgeoning population. More construction, more jobs, better for the economy.

2. In the event there is a serious pandemic, an overpopulated area may have more people who will survive it, however the crowded conditions favor the spread of the pandemic.

3. If it occurs naturally (i.e. not from Immigration) it signals an increase in health as fewer are dying and more are being born.

4. Transportation experts and civil engineers are in high demand.

5. Uh...the more the merrier?

New contribution-

how about the idea, from economics, that higher population leads to low cost of labour and therefore results in inward investment into the country. which could ultimately improve the economy and living standards with it.

Answer 4

An advantage of overpopulation is that there will be more people willing to pay for less money. Another advantage is that products may become more readily available and cheaper.
