It is population growth speed that hurts the third world most as the population increase to fast for development to keep pace.
But overall high population is a big problem people in the western/first world use atleast 10 times the electricity per person compared to the third world. First world population is 1 billion third world population is 7 billion. Similar is for other resources as the economic situation improves for these 7 billion they will put larger strain on all resources which are finite.
