ANALYSIS OF THE INCREASE IN POPULATION AND LIFE EXPECTANCY ON THE LEVEL OF COMMUNITY WELFARE IN GUNUNG SITOLI CITY IN 2018-2022

Abstract

The present study investigates the effects of rising life expectancy and population numbers on
the state of community welfare in Gunungsitoli City between 2018 and 2022. Life expectancy
rose along with the substantial population boom that Gunungsitoli City had throughout this
time. Growing populations can make it more difficult to provide essential services such as
infrastructure, healthcare, and education, but longer life expectations are a reflection of
better living circumstances and health care. This study examines how these two factors relate
to community welfare, which is determined by social, economic, and public facility
accessibility. The findings of the study demonstrate that while longer life expectancies are
good for welfare, rapid population expansion might make it more difficult for the government
to provide for people's fundamental requirements, hence
