resources, coupled with high death rates, which resulted in higher birth rates, that is why
impoverished areas are seeing large booms in population.

effects
The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first of these is the depletion of
resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food, which is falling
short of the current needs
With the overuse of coal, oil, and natural gas, it has started producing some serious effects
on our environment. Besides, the exponential rise in the number of vehicles and industries
has badly affected the quality of air.

to support many people. so, they cannot provide enough money for their families, or even for
themselves and its leads to poverty

the prices of various essential commodities, including food, accommodation and healthcare.

As the world's population is growing at a rapid rate, raising awareness about family planning
and the serious consequences of overpopulation can help curb population growth.
One of the best ways is to educate them about safe sex and the contraceptive methods
available to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
The government of different countries may have to develop different policies regarding tax
exemptions to control overpopulation.
One of these could be the exemption of a certain part of the income tax or the reduction of
the income tax rate for married couples who are single or have two children. Since we
humans are more inclined towards money, this can bring positive results.
