Ecological imbalance and strategies to combat it: Ecological imbalances caused by natural factors; human factors; impact on human ecological systems; man's perception and adjustment to such imbalances; sustainable population and sustainable settlements in the context of a regional ecosystem. Elective Course-3 Population, Development and Environment UGC NET Population Divergent views regarding the relationship between population and economic development. Is population growth an obstacle to economic development? Coale & Hoover study, Limits to growth study, Enke's investment model approach. Population growth is conducive to economic development-views of Colin Clark, Estner Boserup, Julian Simon. ‘Development is the best contraceptive’ -Bucharest controversy. UGC NET Development Changing Concept of Development-Emphasis on Equality-towards human centered development-welfare approach-investment in human capital approach, Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI), Human Development Index (HDI). UGC NET Environment Population and development impact on natural resources and the environment. Land degradation, deforestation, air and water pollution, global warming biodiversity. Impact on quality of life-health, employment, urbanization, poverty, housing, transport, safe drinking water, sanitation, etc. Population, environment and sustainable development.
