Poverty is the condition of having an insufficient amount of resources or income, the primary factors that may lead to poverty is over population, the present trend of population growth in our country is quite alarming, it can be noted that more young people engage in early marriage and premarital affairs, also customs and traditions that promote big families likewise contribute to increase in population.

               

        In developing societies where technologies advances very slowly, rapid population growth usually means lower per capital income growth, this results in small savings and massive property; population growth also may create problems in economics, and because of the population growth enrollment in the primary, elementary and high schools levels will increase, the budget for the education of the youth should also increase ; a rapid in population may result to increase of pollutants and this came from waste products from factories, garbage from houses and human waste may be found in waterways, unemployment of the head of the family will result to the members of the family suffering from hunger, children may be compelled to look for jobs, thus school drop outs may increase, unemployment also may lead to juvenile delinquency, crime rates may increase, shanties in urban areas may multiply and lead to overcrowding. And if there will be less job opportunities for the population then it will be difficult for many to build their own houses especially in crowded cities, people will have no choice but to build houses everywhere like near the river or beside the roads since they will not be able to afford owning a descent house.

              

      Since the issue of poverty creates huge problems especially in over populated areas , it is important that government should create a better solution, they should create a better program for the people that can help for they can be guided or given an information about the problem that we faced today.
