Topic: Overpopulation of a developing country is one of its major problem - page 2. (Read 595 times)

There seems to be an ongoing misconception between what is, in practical terms, actual overpopulation and what is more aptly dubbed overabundance. If we're talking about a situation where there are far more people than an environment/the physical space can satisfactorily sustain, cases in point Hong Kong/Singapore/megalopolises, it certainly can be framed as overpopulation, which isn't the case for countries with low GDP & life quality conditions and a lot of inhabitants.

An important step for fast & efficient development is a demographic window. That essentially means a country will have a lot of young people, and therefore a prominent workforce, capable of providing for the "dependents" (children and elderly). Assuming 2.1 children per woman is necessary to maintain stable population levels, to achieve the demographic window a nation would require some good 3 - 4 children per woman which is the case, as of now, in Africa. (Also, many of you

Also, in regards to poor people having a lot of children,


Missing that demographic window has some costs, and so does inorganically (and carelessly) decreasing fertility rates.

My argument here isn't advocating poor people having a lot of children, as such behaviour does have perverse effects (birth mortality & criminality rates & overpopulation in urban areas & some others) but instead that overabundance of people isn't a burden to development (in fact, as I pointed, it's the opposite of that). An underdeveloped country with stable population (for instance, Brazil) will still have terrible life conditions due to its underdevelopment, and said underdevelopment is produced by a multitude of factors, especially those related to productive capacity & institutional strength. Those two things are strongly tied to long-term goals or, as we Brazilians call, a "nation project", a set of cross-generational development projects, which is often the opposite on what happens in underdeveloped/developing countries (where populist, short term measures to alleviate the immediate misery are the norm).

Lastly - and that may trigger a lot of people, but it's undeniable - historical inheritance is another heavy factor for underdevelopment. The constant meddling of world powers (the three largest culprits are always US/UK/USSR) in internal affairs has delayed a political interest in developing a "nation project" in several, SEVERAL countries.

Yes, it causes a problem for these countries, if the policy of these countries is not desirable by the people and there is a lot of corruption in them

I also think the overpopulation of a developing country is a big problem Because the population is more green then the development of a country is never possible This is why population growth must be prevented In order to control the population, everyone has to be aware of it Also most of our countrymen are illiterate and educate them. Then the development of the country is possible.

If any country thinks that they are over-populated, why don't they do a nationally owned seastead, and send their excess population there? See the links in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53860399.

Well said! I belong to a country where people see giving birth to multiple children as an achievement, hence, the country's population keeps getting much. I think the best way to control this in developing country is to set a limit to the number of siblings by a couple, with that, i am sure there'll be much, improvement.

Agreed. Easiest proof can be found in India. I like the country, but why have more children when you can't support + when there isn't enough resources around to go for?

A little off topic, but this is similar to what Thanos wanted to achieve. But instead of wiping out 50% of the universe population, I think there are less barbaric ways. Perhaps limit the amount of children a couple can have based on income?

In the 1900s they did population control. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and others killed off some 200 million people in the 1900s. Now it's the medical, chemtrails, the US military and others doing it around the world.

Like you say, however, their efforts seem futile with how fast the population is continuing to grow.

But we can't control from the flow of the population so we need to take some new planet which we can full that planet to start over again with advance technology but if we think that then it would be hard by the budget we have. So the solution is to stop from getting or create a new born but it was impossible to do.

Just like I have earlier submitted. The reason why the over population is a problem is because the amount of resources that they have. With the exception of India, there are several developing nations whose population is not anywhere close to the United States but it seems that population is their only problem forgetting the fundamental things that needs to be put in place. Population is harnessed properly can be used effectively to the benefit of all. Companies wants to make profit, then they set up in places where more people would buy their products in which case, they hire. With policies that would limit the use of machines, it comes at a great advantage to the country among several others.

That's why I said overpopulation would be a problem in developing countries because most of the citizens wait on the government and they are not really ready to do things with their skills or knowledge

Population of a country will become an issue when people don't create their own business and waiting for their governments to bring jobs,its not possible to make job opportunities for every individual on a country so any individual need to realize that and start making money on their own and increase job opportunities by yourself.

Over population is truly a big problem for the developing countries. If the governments are ready to be transparent and corruption free, population is not at all a big issue. Another thing as years pass the advancement will reduce the population in terms of birth, same time death too gets lowered. This is the reason for population. Well planned infrastructure thinking of future will make population to be an effective way for productive and creative growth.

Garbage,
Japan old age people diapers about to outsell baby diapers. Lots of virgin up to mid thirties, company is more important as a companion.

Of course oil isn't the problem. Finding it, owning it, and controlling it are the problems.

oil isn't a big problem enough substitutes existing, the big problem in the west is now that entire savage third world tries to enslave westerners for their problems.

it wasnt the europeans that stopped colonialism it was the noneuropeans, they have put themselves into the misery of the current, during colonial time there was always a possibility to join the workforce of the european colonial empire and get to the colonial regions that were constructing infrastructure.

Western government is only out after the oil. Everything else they do is only to make them look like good people (a little bit) to the Muslims.

my country no longer has anything to do with this because their passion is more concerned with religion than logic, my intention is that having many children is strictly not prohibited, but does not think about how to improve the standard of living.

The government has also deactivated the 2-child program since it slowly turned into a democratic country. gaps begin to emerge and expertise bases are no longer put forward, most impacts can only complain and demand, overpopulation in developing countries makes matters even more complex.
