The world's population is growing by nearly 80 million people per year. While population growth rates have slowed since their peak in the 1960s, the numbers being added to the population each year continue to be huge, in part because of the growth in the numbers of people of reproductive age. At current rates of birth and death, the world's population is on a trajectory to double in 49 years.
The median projection of population size by the U.N. Population Division envisions that population growth rates will decline over the coming several decades. But even if that median projection is achieved, the number of people expected to be added to the world's population in the next 50 years will be almost as large as the number added in the last 50 years.
That magnitude of increase, coming on top of the unprecedented growth that has occurred in the last half-century, will be felt in all aspects of life. It will further stress already strained ecological systems and worsen poverty in much of the developing world, thus aggravating threats to international security.

World population boom as said earlier can cause serious damages to a country.With world population boom,even a developing or developed country can face crisis.For example,insufficient housing,lesser employment opportunities etc.
This all could in turn lead to other social problems such as conflicts and depression because if one does not have a proper shelter and job then life would obviously be miserable.
Moreover,the government mighnt not be able to cater to all the population.
World population boom can cause and ageing population and funds can be used up entirely to benefit them instead of developing the country.
