Overpopulation and poverty seem to run in the same area, which may be a possible reason why it is connected to each other.

Overpopulation occurs when there are too many people living in an environment. A specific area is said to be overpopulated if the amount of people exceeded the carrying capacity of the specific area. If the area is not able to provide the essential needs that its habitants require, it is more likely to be considered as an overpopulated area. Currently, overpopulation is one of the biggest problems of our world. There are many countries that are said to be overpopulated, and some countries are said to be in danger of becoming overpopulated as well.

3. How is the government of dealing with population control and poverty?
C. Hypothesis Overpopulation is a huge problem to several countries, and it can be
