Many countries are concerned about the rapid rise of population growth.

Between 2005
and 2030, nearly half of the world's population increase will be distributed in the least
industrialized regions' urban areas. Many of the world's challenges are caused by
overpopulation. Whether it is a matter of food scarcity, a lack of safe drinking water, or a
lack of electricity, any country in the world that is affected will perish. Thanks to the
import and export of products from other countries, any country is capable of sustaining
its own well-being. However, this cannot last forever. In reality, the population of every
nation is increasing. In the next few decades, the world's population is expected to
reach 8 or 10 billion people. There's a fair possibility that more and more nations will be
forced to rely on their own resources. This can be prevented by increasing children's
education, lowering infant and child mortality, improving women's physical, social, and
legal status, and ensuring equal gender roles in marriage and child rearing. People who
want to have smaller families are more likely to achieve a balanced population. They
must be able to make the decision, which requires good, modern family planning and
the absence of pressure to have a big family due to economic, social, cultural, or
parental circumstances. People must therefore comprehend how having a smaller
family benefits them, as well as the world we live on and future generations.

Renewable resources such as wood, clean water, air, fertile soils, and wild fish for food
are also provided by the Earth. Our demands, on the other hand, have grown to the
point that, according to the Global Footprint Network, we are now consuming those
resources at almost twice the pace at which the Earth could replenish them. Since the
1970s, this rate has been steadily increasing, and unless things change, we will need
three Earths to meet our needs by 2050. Currently, over 800 million people do not get
enough food to satisfy their nutritious needs on a daily basis. Meanwhile, 650 million
people are overweight. People go hungry not because there isn't enough food, but
because our global economic structure wrongly distributes it. Thanks to development
success not keeping up with rapid population growth, the number of people suffering
from hunger has actually increased in recent years. That’s why we need to stop
population growth, because the future generations might ran out of their own resources
quickly.
