Summary Introduction
To determine: The factors or reasons which can limit the growth of the human population in the future.
Introduction: Growth of a particular population depends on various types of factors. These factors can either increase or decrease the growth of a particular population in the future. Moreover, population growth is also an important factor in the determination of
