Overpolulation

Can you imagine how would it be if the population on Earth is doubled? Over the past few
years, the population of people has been increasing at extreme rates and overpopulated
problems in megacities had been slowly floating up the sea level. Poverty, reduced mortality
rates, better medical facilities are few of the causes which result in overpopulation.
Nevertheless, people are contempting this problem and China, the world most populated
country is trying to encourage their citizens to give birth to more babies as it affects the country's
economy.

  Why does countries are trying to encourage their citizens to give birth to more child? Coutries
like China and Japan is facing the problem of population ageing. People might ask, why does
population ageing occur? Isn't the younger generation giving birth to babies?
 
  And this is the main factor, population ageing. The lack of younger generations can't help to
boost the countries economy and that's why, developed country and encouraging their citizens
to give birth. But why aren't younger citizens willing to give birth to more children?

  There are two factors that are affecting this. Firstly, in developed countries, fast paced working
days makes them having lesser time to spend with each other and conduct reproduction
activities. And secondly, older political issues encouraged not  citizens not to born more due to
overpopulated problems.

  What will happen if the Earth is overpopulated? Overpopulated places will first occur in
developed countries like China and India and also developing countries like Indonesia and
Bangladesh. The first problem that will happen is food shortage. For developed countries, this
problem won't be as serious as it would be compare to developing countries because developed
countries have enough money to provide enough food. But this is just a short-term solution.

  As the time past, these countries will have more and more number of people and the food
sources isn't enough for all people over the world. Slowly, food prices will rise as food that day
will be as precious and gold and only the richer ones can afford. The effect of this problem will
be the poorer dying from starving.

  Moreover, overpopulated will cause the lack of houses for citizens to live in. Eventhough
buildings now are higher and higher, but the increasing rate of population is faster than the
building speed. Same goes to the poorer citizens, they can't afford to buy newly built houses as
houses might also be as precious and diamonds that time and they will need to live under
bridges, beside the road and even in the forest.

  After seeing such an unlucky event, how can we solve this problem? Before we even started to
think of the long term solution, nature had started it's plan. If you have done some research
about pandemic diseases, you might have noticed, every hundred years, there is a pandemic
disease. These diseases can help to decrease the overall population on Earth. For an example,
the black death have killed almost a third of the Europe's population. Besides of nature's
solutions, we humans must also find a way to decrease the number of population.

  Some astromnomy professions have suggests that human can one day live on other planets or
outer space like Mars or a building simillar to the International Space Station but this isn't a
solution that can be succeded in a short time.

  Humans haven't really came to a conclusion of having an efficient way to decrease the overall
population but let's hope for thr best for our civilisation won't end in this problem.
