The Problems of Over Population
There are several problems that affect the world today: war, crime, pollution, and several others. Overpopulation is a serious dilemma that is growing every year, every minute, and every second. It is the root of most, if not all, of the world’s problems1. It is the greatest global crisis facing humanity in the twenty-first century. Overpopulation is the major global problem because of several reasons. Most of the problems we have today, such as ocean depletion, food shortages, water shortages, air pollution, water pollution, and global warming are the effects of overpopulation2. The more people there are, the more resources consumed and the more waste created. A child born today in the United States for …show more content…
Mankind is increasing the greenhouse gas levels by burning fossil fuels and deforesting the earth7. As the population increases, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases rise rapidly which affect the ability of the outgoing energy to pass through the atmosphere, [which] effectively heats the Earth8. Another predicament is the acid rain created by air pollution, which in turn, is created by the increasing population. Acid rain’s spread and damage involves weather, soil, and the life cycles of plants and animals on the land9. Air pollution is created from the burning of fossil fuels in cars, trucks, planes, and homes. The smoke and fumes rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form acid rain10. As it rains, it eats away on things they settle on and contaminates lakes, drinkable water, which affect plants and animals11. Overpopulation also causes conflict. If many people live very closely together, there is a greater chance of conflict, which results in higher crime and even sometimes war12.

Overpopulation is a serious threat to our own existence. The whole world needs to address this issue and not just a few countries. The world’s population is increasing mainly due to medical advancements and increases in agricultural productivity. Countries like Brazil, China and India add more to their woes by neglecting substantial increases in their populations.
India is now the home to 1.2 billion. Furthermore India’s population is expected to grow to 1.8 billion before stabilizing around the middle of this century, if sufficient measures are taken. Today India is stretched to its limit due to overpopulation. 57 billionaires control 70 percent of India’s wealth. This economic inequality leads to poverty, lack of free medical assistance, lack of social security and bad living conditions. The issues are even more critical due to the advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Automation. Automation threatens 69 percent job losses with millions of job losses already occurring in the IT and production sectors. E-commerce has failed to pick up so far due to job cuts and prices that are not as competitive as in the local marketplace.
It’s not just India’s struggle, Brazil and China are also coping with the ramifications of overpopulation. It’s time for all global forums to provide effective solutions in order to resolve this problem. Overpopulation can only be solved by spreading awareness of and implementing measures like birth control and access to birth control devices. Let us help the world prepare for a better tomorrow.
