Population

[shiki3226]

Education is the key. If countries would actually be serious in educating the masses about the proper way of family planning and teach parents how to be more responsible, then it would be a great help to avoid overpopulation.

Obviously war would cull the population, thats the quick way.
However if we adopt some ideaology from china
We can probably instate the one child policy and that would curb population greatly

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

Soon, the problem with overpopulation will be decided by itself. Wars, terrorism, diseases. The planet gets rid of population by itself).

It is very ironic that the chief instrument that the earth really uses to stop over population is mankind itself, But i will really not call the earth overpopulated due to the fact there are enough places alone with in Russia to house the entire earth but people really like to play politics all the time.

Eventually this is exactly what is going to happen. The natural resources (agricultural land, water.etc) are limited. If the population increases beyond a certain threshold, then obviously the competition for these resources are going to increase. In the end, this will result in major warfare and ultimately the population will be reduced as a result of genocides and massacres.

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

LGBT people are trying, soon they will flood the Earth completely and the birth rate will decrease, but we forbid them. And so, this is inevitable, not all use elastic bands and the brain, so nothing can be done unfortunately.

One of the best solution are made by the Chinese people. They have encountered that problem and come up to a good solution. A one child policy,  they have a rule that every family should only have one child. If they exceed to one child, the other child will be sent to orphan and you will pay a fine.

As far as I know the rise of population has already slowed down very much. Countries which become more wealthy tend to produce less and less children...

I don't think that over-population is a big problem in Japan. There, the population is declining by around 0.5 million every year and a large part of the population is composed of the elderly and the pensioners. And the population density is lower, when compared to nations such as Bangladesh, Taiwan, and Singapore.

I really think that population growth is hard to solve, it's hard because human are created to procreate and I think it's hard to control everyone. I think the best way is to educate people about family planning. That way people can be aware of the effect of over population.

[illicit]

In order to reduce the adverse impacts of overpopulation, mitigation measures, such as spreading awareness and education about overpopulation, enacting birth control measures and regulations, and providing universal access to birth control devices and family planning, must be taken. In countries like China, the government has put policies in place that regulate the number of children allowed to a couple, and some leaders and environmentalists are suggesting that the United Nations implement a China-like one-child policy globally to help control and reduce overpopulation gradually

[Mometaskers]

Too much people is only a problem if you let them be. If they are uneducated and you run out of resources to feed them, then you've got a problem. Otherwise, treat them as an asset. A country can't survive without citizens. Just look at how worried the Japanese government is with their below replacement birth rate.

More people means larger workforce, meaning more tax money, meaning more to fund social security.

The problem when a state tries to control its population is that they will lack manpower in the future.  They will have a problem in the future because the difference of age from those who were born before a population control and those born after it will be very big.  And causing problem of manpower for the industries.

[Angna27]

i think we need to educate people like family planning,,and also educate young people and apply sex education to the school.

The manpower shortage is just a myth. Look at Japan. More than one-third of the population is above the age of 60, and they are not facing any manpower shortage. And better still, they have not permitted large scale immigration from the third world nations. On the other hand, they have relied on automation and increased retirement age to combat the problem.

Enormous population is one of the struggle of every country. It affects global warming and the supply and demand. Over population during these times is becoming problem because most of the third world countries cannot supply the demands of every families. These results to poverty and indigency.

The tendency to procreate without restraint is supported by "religious leaders", which depend on big families. The Catholic church & Islam in particular opposes any contraception or abortion. Encouragement of procreation is in the best interest of the "churchs". The Islamic view used to approve having more children ("increasing the size of the ummah"), the religious establishment does not recognize that it is self-destructive. Religious people believe that when they die they will go to heaven and their Gods will miraculously provide them with all necessities. Why bother? Why worry about overpopulation or global warming? Even if it results in human deaths, there is always life in the heavenly kingdom.  And so the emotionally dissociated people multiply without restraint.

Every baby born in name of jesus, god or allah is just another soldier in the upcoming clash of cultures.

Overpopulation is a Problem in many countries around the world.
An Economists named Thomas Malthus proposed his Population Theory that Includes; Preventive checks and Positive checks. Preventive checks means to prevent the massive outbreak of uncontrolled overpopulation by means of prevention like moral restraint of Postponing marriage while the positvie checks like occurrence of war, famine, etc.
In relation to our present times, this theory will NOT be applicable.
THUS, OVERPOPULATION WILL BE CONTROLLED ONLY AND MAY BE LESSEN BY MEANS OF INDIVIDUAL DISCIPLINE.
