Overpopulation. A major factor of socio-economic problems in the Pakistani city Karachi: Food and water crisis and the climate change

Master’s Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, grade: B, language: English, abstract: Population control is an objective that many developed worlds focus on but not many have worked on it directly as a research. Deaths due to food, water, agricultural crises, violence, conflict could occur if we do not follow an authentic strategy. United nation’s food and agricultural organization stated that World population may be 10 billion by 2050. Daily climate changes are occurring due to that result they predict that doing agriculture will not be an easy task to cultivate crops. Food is associated with climate change if climate is not appropriate then food cannot be cultivated. Keeping this is mind the research aims at understanding the problems associated with high population, and to see if population its self is the issue. The research follows a mixed method design taking for both quantitative and qualitative researches paradigm. Low Education has showing that Low Education did have significant effect on Socio Economic Problems. Poor Governance has significant effect on Socio Economic Problems.Moreover, the Poor Farming Methods have significant effect on Socio Economic Problems. This shows that the farming methods of the country are good enough to feed the people but other variables are effecting the country and the problems and making things worst. Keeping this in mind we fail to reject H1, H2, H3, H4, and H6 while statistically we can not accept the H5 of the study.
