There are about 6.9 billion people on earth today, strange how it took all of human history up to around the 1800s for world population to reach the first 1 billion, and now the world's population grows by another 1 billion every 12 years. This increase in population is due to the grate advances in human way of life ( medical sience, sanitation etc.). Some people live well and some do not. The people who unfortunatly do not live well and live in poverty live in mostly in the broken down area of the city that is surrounded by extreme poverty, or slums. Out of all the worlds population about half of the live in slums. So what is a slum dwellers life like? The life of a slum dweller brings many challenges into everyday life, some example absence of sanitation, the depressing enviorment, and the ever increasing population. How do these challenges affect humans' everyday life?
