In the article “Overpopulation Is Still the Problem”, the author discusses the problem of overpopulation and how it affected the world in different ways. He believes that overpopulation has led to famine, extinction of species, desertification and many more. First the author challenges the view of some newspapers that declare that overpopulation has never been a problem and that china , a nation of a billion , was able to overcome it’s exceedance of carrying capacity by using technologies by stating china’s various food crisises throughout history. He argues that due to china’s multiple famines that led to millions’ starvations, it shouldn’t be used as an argument proving point. However, china’s one-child policy has prevented future…

One of the most important solutions is limiting population or controlling population.…
Overpopulation is the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, which is closely associated with poverty. Overpopulation is the ‘mother-problem’. This problem is present in most of the countries where poverty is involved. Poverty rises when food resources aren’t sufficient to satisfy the daily needs of those people. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financially or family planning. Some developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth. Between 1999 and 2011, the world’s population increased by 1 billion, states the ‘Population Institute’.…
Some observers attribute nearly all of the world 's maladies to excessive population growth. They claim that rapid population growth has at least three adverse effects on human well-being. First, it increases poverty--the number of people that are impoverished, the proportion of the community that is impoverished, and the severity of the impoverishment. Second, it increases environmental degradation--the misuse of natural resources--with adverse consequences on many dimensions of human well-being. Finally, it prevents environmental enhancement by holding back the savings and investment that would permit environmentally sustainable economic growth and retards the agricultural productivity that would encourage environmentally friendly agriculture and conservation (Ahlburg 1994; Kelley and McGreevey 1994).…
The impact of human activity on the environment is catastrophically devastating and destructible. Assisting to that destruction is the increasing number of people that make up the worlds population today. Overpopulation is the condition of giving birth to a number of people living on earth that over exceeds the amount of space, resources and land found on our planet. According to reports from the United Nations (2007), “World population is currently growing by approximately 75 million people per year.” Such growth should be considered alarming and a possible threat to people as well as our environment. Humans all over the world must understand that these changes in population growth will foreshadow many changes in the years to come, including death. The world’s population is rapidly increasing and the necessary resources that were once in abundance such as clean water, clean air, fuel, electricity, and food are now becoming scarce. As the population continues to expand, there will be that much greater demands on our planet that will create pollution, deforestation, and atmospheric changes.…
The human overpopulation has been credited to diverse factors, as the increment in life-span, the absence of natural enemies, the improvement in the quality of life, and the accessibility to get better goods. According to research, every year, more than 81 million people are added to the world-wide population and every 10 years, almost one billion inhabitants are added to the world’s population.…
The population of the world has reached six billion. There has been a gradual increase in the world population over the centuries (see table 2.1 and fig. 2.2). During the 1950's the growth rate was low a mere 1.47%, it further decreased during the 1960's.The main reason for this decline was that if at that time an epidemic spread, it ravaged millions of people. Also the infant mortality rate was high but despite the less use of contraceptives, the population growth rate was low. In the decade of 1970, the population increased very quickly and problems related to overpopulation arose.…
Over population is creating a serious threat to the development of the country. Bangladesh cannot feed all her people properly because the production of food cannot keep pace with her increasing people. As a result, there is the shortage of food in our country. It cannot provide job facilities for everyone. Thousands and thousands of people are out of work in this country. Thus the country cannot meet up the basic necessaries of our life.…
