Quick Answer. Factors that cause population growth include increased food production, improved health care services, immigration and high birth rate. These factors have led to overpopulation, which has more negative effects than positive impacts.
There are four factors that affect population change in a country: 1) Birth Rate-the number of live births per 1000 in a year. Birth rates are affected by such factors as nutrition, fertility, attitudes about abortion, labour value of children, government policies, social value, the availability of contraception and culture. 2) Death Rate-the number of deaths per 1000 in a year.
