    The document discusses overpopulation, which occurs when the human population exceeds the Earth's carrying capacity. It is caused by declining death rates due to better medical facilities and a lack of family planning. The effects of overpopulation include depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation that contributes to global warming, conflicts over scarce resources that can lead to war, increased unemployment and crime, higher costs of living, more people suffering in poverty, and increased pollution threatening the planet. Governments are trying to address overpopulation in some overpopulated areas of the world.
