Social Impacts- Services can't cope, not everybody has access. Children have to work to support large families and miss out on education. Aren't enough houses for everyone, so people live in makeshift overcrowded places-health problems
Political- More young people, less old people. Government focused on policies imprtant to young people, like education not pensions. Economic- Aren't enough jobs so unemployment increases, increased poverty as people are born into poor families
