Over-population is when there are too many people, to be supported to a good standard of living, by the resources of a region or country.

Under-population is when a region or country has insufficient workers to exploit their resources efficiently, to support retired populations and to provide growth. i.e. too few people to use all the resources of an area to the maximum efficiency. Rural areas in LICs may become under-populated where agricultural production has fallen and depopulation has occurred. It could also happen when land in rural areas is abandoned as people migrate to urban areas, natural hazards, war and communicable diseases such as HIV.
