The greatest threat to the world is seldom mentioned in the media — overpopulation.
Increasing population in the short term stimulates economic growth, provides more employment at times and in some places, produces more consumer goods, raises stockholder profits and temporarily raises the living standards in some places.
However, in the long run, an increasing population produces more pollution, global warming, decreases the middle class and in many countries increases the poverty rate. Perhaps most importantly, as young men in some countries see no future, they are attracted to terrorist groups, drug smuggling, etc.
Most of the world is made up of poor countries, which consist chiefly of poor, uneducated people, and the lack of education greatly increases the risk of perpetual poverty. Such countries don’t come close to having the resources to educate their citizens to compete in today’s world economy.
El Salvador is one of many examples, because I have a personal knowledge of that country, and have been there numerous times.
For its size, it’s the most heavily populated country in the Western Hemisphere. Up until the revolution more than 20 years ago, the country was ruled by dictators maintained by 14 ruling families, with the help of big banana companies and the Catholic church.
They controlled all of the means of production and distribution, as well as all of the poor people for many years.
Before the revolution, advocating family planning — artificial birth control — was a crime. The population increase ran wild, but as the middle class became larger, it eventually instituted a violent revolution. The powerful could always control the poor masses, but when the growing middle class asked for more, it couldn’t be controlled.
While the 14 families fled to their mansions in Miami, the army and its death squads began random killing to wipe out the opposition, called FLMN, and the church changed sides to keep from being destroyed.
This country is an example of overpopulation, lack of education facilities, lack of employment opportunities, and lack of almost everything else for a vast majority of the very poor.
Most have far more children than they can adequately care for. How can the father of 10 children on a low income adequately provide for his family? He can’t, and there are no welfare programs in such countries.
Thus, the end result of such overpopulation is violence, crime, lack of food for an adequate diet, which leads to illnesses. As these usually unwanted children become adults to fend for themselves, the problem multiplies, making such countries less of a desirable place to live.
