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.

How much did India's population grow in the second half of the 20th century?

In the second half of the 20th century, India's population experienced significant growth, increasing from approximately 361 million in 1951 to about 846 million by 2001. This represents a growth of around 485 million people over the 50-year period. The population growth rate during this time was influenced by improvements in healthcare, declining mortality rates, and a high birth rate. As a result, India became one of the most populous countries in the world.

Which was not a result of the baby boom that followed world war 1?

One result that was not a consequence of the baby boom following World War I was a significant increase in urbanization. While there was a surge in population, many families chose to remain in rural areas, leading to continued agricultural lifestyles rather than a dramatic shift to cities. Additionally, the baby boom contributed to economic growth and changes in consumer culture, but it did not directly result in the same level of social change or technological advancement as seen after World War II.


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.
