Overpopulation is a term used for situation where human population numbers exceed the earth’s capacity which aggravates the environmental deterioration, weakening of the superiority of life. To see if the population growth will be a threat in the future, Demographic Transition Model must be used to see where the countries are placed on the model. This can be done by measuring the countries birth and death rates. Impacts caused by human population on the environment have been severe. Impacts include loss of freshwater for instance by 2030, demand for freshwater will increase by 30 precent. Extinction of species is another major impact caused by overpopulation for instance scientists warn that if the human population grows with similar trends,…
In the article “Overpopulation Is Still the Problem”, the author discusses the problem of overpopulation and how it affected the world in different ways. He believes that overpopulation has led to famine, extinction of species, desertification and many more. First the author challenges the view of some newspapers that declare that overpopulation has never been a problem and that china , a nation of a billion , was able to overcome it’s exceedance of carrying capacity by using technologies by stating china’s various food crisises throughout history. He argues that due to china’s multiple famines that led to millions’ starvations, it shouldn’t be used as an argument proving point. However, china’s one-child policy has prevented future…
The argument’s main idea is that overpopulation has a major impact on the Earth. The author explains how overpopulation leads to food insecurity, land depletion, human suffering, species extinction, and decreased social services.

Over the decades of population growth, the world population already reached to billions in the 21st century. Poverty is one of the main causes of the rapid population growth.

I recommend family planning…
Human population grows, and it has been calculated that by the year 2050 there will be over 9 billion people in the world. As a result of that the amount of land per person will have dropped to less than one square inch. It is clear that population growth must stop in some close future due to various factors (Issitt, 1). Shortage in food and water, limited energy, pollution, death of plants and animals, and many more other shortages can be count as those factors. Controlling population growth is essential for each person in the world as it might cause many dangerous situations. Each person has to know how exactly dangerous is overpopulation. Government has to stop this growth somehow by educating families about family planning, help women to get better financial progress, make a law to protect ecosystem and prevent illegal immigrants’ growth. Population growing is very dangerous especially for developing countries. Governments of those countries do not have easy job, and many of them use very drastically moves. China is one of them, where many kids have been killed, mostly girls. It is necessary to do something to stop population growth, but many people argue how, and what tools should be used to stop this growing.…

Population control or population management has been one of the rallying cries of Filipino economists since Pres. Ferdinand Marcos signed the United Nations Declaration on Population in 1967. With an estimated population of 92,337,852 in 2010 according to the National Statistics Office (National Statistics Office [Philippines]), and a land area of 300,000 sq. m., lawmakers and civic groups have been clamoring for a solution to address the constant growth rate vis a vis the dwindling natural resources in the country. While the population growth rate continues to hold steady(estimated to be at 2.36% per annum in 2008) (National Statistics Office [Philippines] and ICF Macro), the country’s resources, has suffered the same fate as that of the rest of the Asia Pacific region, which, the Asian Development Bank, in collaboration with the WWF, says is, “consuming more resources than its ecosystems can sustain, threatening the future of the region’s beleaguered forests, rivers, and oceans as well as the livelihoods of those who depend on them.”…
