The ill-effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first one is that natural resources
deplete at a faster level. Our planet can produce only a limited amount of water and food.
Thus, overpopulation causes environmental damage including deforestation, pollution, etc.
Similarly, there is the degradation of the environment which happens because of the overuse
of resources like coal, oil, natural gases and more. As a result, the quality of air also gets
affected in this manner.
Moreover, it rises due to overpopulation. There is more number of people than job
opportunities. As a result, unemployment gives rise to crimes like theft and more. We also
have pandemics and epidemics which happen due to overpopulation.
|| Solutions of Overpopulation ||
There are many solutions which we may take up to prevent overpopulation. The best
measure is family planning to keep the overpopulation check. In order to do that, one can
ensure proper spacing between the births of the children.
Further, limiting the number of children as per income and resources must also be important.
Similarly, it is essential to increase resources. The government must make the horrors of
overpopulation reach the public through the use of media.
Moreover, better education can help implement social change which can curb
overpopulation. Next up, knowledge of sex education must be made mandatory in schools
so students learn young about everything they need to know.
All in all, overpopulation is no less than a curse that poses a permanent threat to the
development of any country. It is essential to stop the flood of population. In order to do that,
one must indulge in proper family planning and creating balance in society for a better world.
