Population Growth on the Environment: A Short Review

Abstract

Population and environment are two closely related factors. The development of one
factor is related to the development of another factor, namely: The change of the population has
a positive or negative impact on the environment and a sustainable or unsustainable development
environment resources also have the opposite effect in human society by both sides. Especially
in the current socio-economic development trend, the above relationship is shown more clearly.
Vietnam is a developing country with very rapid population growth, accompanied by an increase
in environmental pollution to an alarming level, especially in the two largest cities of the
country, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. From the field survey, this study shows the effects of
population growth on environmental issues such as air pollution, water pollution, destruction of
forest resources, increased land use, etc.; since then, it is recommended to limit the population
growth and use the resources (not renewable) appropriately for sustainable development in the
future
