Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A population of a country can be controlled by war. During the war, there’s a high death rate and low birth rate which decreases the population drastically, however post war there will be low death rate and high birth rate which increases the population.

Detailed explanation-2: -At least during this time period, a faster increase in population made social conflict more likely, probably because it increased competition for scarce resources in low income countries.

Detailed explanation-3: -They have not been able to find jobs in industries. The urban poor are either casual labourers or intermittently employed. They lack job security, or have limited skills. This is how the growing population without access to proper education, employment led to an increase in poverty.

Detailed explanation-4: -More people means an increased demand for food, water, housing, energy, healthcare, transportation, and more. And all that consumption contributes to ecological degradation, increased conflicts, and a higher risk of large-scale disasters like pandemics.
