Population pressure refers to the burden or strain that an increasing population places on the available resources and infrastructure of a particular area. It occurs when the population of an area exceeds the capacity of the resources and services available to sustain it. This pressure can result in various problems such as overcrowding, lack of access to basic amenities like housing, water, and sanitation, increased competition for limited resources, environmental degradation, and strained social structures. Population pressure is often associated with rapid urbanization and can have significant impacts on the social, economic, and environmental aspects of an area.
