Population

[Mometaskers]

Overpopulation is only a problem in countries without the resources to feed and provide services to those people. Many countries in Europe have a very low birth rate. US is only above replacement because of constant immigration. Japan and even China is contracting.

Meanwhile you have poor countries overflowing with people that they can't even fit them in there. To show you the difference in birthrate, look at Europe now. They were only able to accommodate those refugees because they are not overpopulated themselves.

1.) The immigration of people to other countries. This depends on the person. Immigration will help other people decrease the population in a overpopulated country.

Oh, we all know how well this turns out. 

Seriously though, even legal immigration would have a negative effect on the country of ORIGIN. Unless it's like in Europe where they can just walk or cross the sea to get there (in which case it becomes a free for all), most people from poor countries that manage to get to the developed ones tend to come from the better educated segment of the population. By losing these people, the country of origin become even more worse off.

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?

Overpopulation is experienced by countries that have large birth rates in the past 10 years. This will be a problem when the birth rate can not be controlled, causing some negative factors such as rising unemployment and increasing poverty. The best solution to Overpopulation I think is to limit birth rates. Usually by limiting the number of children each family. As in my country to overcome Overpopulation, the government makes the program every family is required to have a maximum of 2 children. This will help control the population the next few years and I think this is the most effective way.

Stop propping up a failing continent where half of the population will be born Africa.    50% of the population increase will come from Africa.

Over population is a big problem, especially the lver population is not spread widely, when the over population focused on a place then there will be social and criminality problem, the most effective way to reduce this problem is from the government, make a strict problem about birth control and give a good explanation about the effect from over population and all of us need to involve together

[KroFly]

I do not think that you need to do something, because in the event of possible global wars or disasters, the number of people will decrease. In addition, the ecology worsens and life expectancy will decrease.

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?

We don't have the best population control method yet. China tried the one child policy but the country still leads with the highest number of people. I don't see a problem with having more people in this world. Let humans continue breeding if they can afford the family upkeep.

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?

2. Sterilization on a mass scale.  One child per family globally.  You have a child, both parents need to undergo permanent sterilization before they receive the child. If they refuse, they should be arrested and undergo forced sterilization and pay for it.

Are you illuminati?

Its just that no one really knows if 7 Billion is much, there is enough Space and Food to have 70 Billion people easy. I think it depends more on how societys would scale. I can't see the French living that a civilized life, when they would have the population of India.

Even with a population of 7 billion, there is not enough food and water available to feed everyone in this world. And you are talking about a population of 70 billion? It is simply not possible to sustain that many people in this planet.

Half of the food is thrown away so yeah there is enough food. Just look how fat people are.

Family planning is the best way to solve that problem. Lack of knoledge of poor people about this issue is the problem. They are not aware of that so they continue to give birth.

[chesegrinder]

we are not over population earth can accommodate all us... only does who "genius" type says it and does real state people because they dont have a mountain, seas and place to destroy...

[Scoremaster]

We are not overpopulated right now.

The amount of people starving to death per day is a ton less than the abortions per day.

Abortions per day is somewhere around a few million, while people starving to death is about 30,000 or so.

Realistically, had those few million people not been aborted, quick math shows only 3% of them would starve to death, so the othe r97% would still be fed. Maybe in a few hundred more years it would be an issue.

[kyori]

to deal with that matter we need contraceptives to prevent pregnancy or law makers should pass a law that tells only 2 children will be allowed in a family. I think this is the only way to prevent increasing population

[ecnalubma]

I think family planning is the most effective way and educating those who are less knowledgeable over it. Its one of the best solution that government must push through. Although nature itself is also making way to subtract human population through different calamities and fortuitous events.

What a silly question.

[merchantofzeny]

People who shouldn't have children, shouldn't have them. You see the trend, those who can't afford to have kids tend to be those who spit them out like watermelon seeds. Compare this to the the more developed nations were birth rate is below replacement for a long time already.

Propping them up only allows the cycle to continue itself, for their dictators to keep oppressing them. Let them sort it out themselves. Sounds harsh but the only way that their situation will ever change.

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?

The only main cause of over population is lack of family planning. If the couple sex for they only happiness, what will happen if the girl is pregnant? add another number of baby in the world. Better to teach sex education in some college school to prevent this happen and make a 1 or 2 child policy like in china.

[The_prodigy]

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?

I think the best way is to educate people. To show them that with the current trend there are now too many people than what resources our earth has. It also pushes us to destroy the world and I think that there should be a control or a policy wherein we lessen this trend. It can either be theough natural ways or driving a campaign for family planning so tjay we can control overpopulation.

Population is the most alarming issue nowadays in the world, Because of increasing at a high rate we can't afford this population properly especially in the least developed countries. We are experiencing the shortage of food and shelter due to heavy rate of population. Many countries can't offer the basic human rights to the new generation. Providing accommodation we are losing our cultivable land, in the mean time we are facing food crisis. So the high population should be controlled as soon as possible we can...

first of all ask if their even is a problem with over population.

Stale food will always be thrown away. If the population increases, then the food will become more and more expensive. Remember that the farmland doesn't increase with the rise in population. The total area available for farming is limited. And this area is declining every year, due to global warming, urbanization, industrial pollution.etc
