Welcome to my blog, visitor! As what a
courteous person does, allow me to introduce myself. I am Justin Shem B.
Tuazon; currently taking up the course of Mechanical Engineering. I fancy
playing piano as part of expressing myself and suiting my melodic craving as
well. As a student of Don Bosco Technical College, I have obligated myself to
create this blog to widen the radius of my environmental awareness and analyze
further the social issues the world presently encounters.
To start off in my blog, I plan on tackling upon a root cause of economical deficiency to grill. Overpopulation.
Though urbanization is actually a good
sign for a country's progress towards advanced technology, the economical
growth must increase as well as the two mentioned factors are directly
proportional to each other. Otherwise, it will not be urbanization that is
developing, rather, it is overpopulation.
In order to solve the problem on
economical deficiency, we need to address the root cause which is
overpopulation. Overpopulation to urban areas trigger the following events:

and Paul Pernites)
Because of this root cause, the
following cause and events on the diagram above has deepened and may be
possible to unwind the problem.
According to an article in The Atlantic
CityLab, the scientists observe urbanization to be connected with monetary
development in the course of recent studies. Tripling a country's GDP for every
capita expands the urbanization rate by a normal 20 percent. They also found out
that the whole world has urbanized in an intense manner in the course of recent
years; despite per capita pay level by 25 to 30 percent.
With over 11.9 million residents, Manila
is one of the largest mega-cities in the world. But the Pihillipines' GDP per
capita is less than $1,300 per year.
