We can't do anything in this matter. They want to realize everything because they aren't a child they grown up if we tell them about this means what they will think I don't know? but definitely we will become ashamed.The main reason of increasing population is illiteracy, unwanted sex, poverty, unemployment etc. The government have to give education about this problems. Especially poor peoples, the feel that producing more kids can remove their poverty. The feel that more child can earn more money, and some enjoy sex but not safely.They don't use condoms, and produce unwanted kids. Some times peoples sold the kid to other people for child trafficking like child labour, servants in home of other, workers in the hotels and restaurant. I just wanna one thing that please be aware about growing population otherwise it can create so much of problems for the coming generation.
There is no over population.

Floating Cities, No Longer Science Fiction, Begin to Take Shape
It is an idea at once audacious and simplistic, a seeming impossibility that is now technologically within reach: cities floating in international waters — independent, self-sustaining nation states at sea.
Long the stuff of science fiction, so-called "seasteading" has in recent years matured from pure fantasy into something approaching reality, and there are now companies, academics, architects and even a government working together on a prototype by 2020.
At the center of the effort is the Seasteading Institute, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco. Founded in 2008, the group has spent about a decade trying to convince the public that seasteading is not an entirely crazy idea.
That has not always been easy. At times, the story of the seasteading movement seems to lapse into self parody. Burning Man gatherings in the Nevada desert are an inspiration, while references to the Kevin Costner film "Waterworld" are inevitable. The project is being partially funded by an initial coin offering, a new concept sweeping Silicon Valley and Wall Street in which money can be raised by creating and selling virtual currency.
And yet in 2017, with sea levels rising because of climate change and established political orders around the world teetering under the strains of populism, seasteading can seem not just practical, but downright appealing.
Earlier this year, the government of French Polynesia agreed to let the Seasteading Institute begin testing in its waters. Construction could begin soon, and the first floating buildings — the nucleus of a city — might be inhabitable in just a few years.
"If you could have a floating city, it would essentially be a start-up country," said Joe Quirk, president of the Seasteading Institute. "We can create a huge diversity of governments for a huge diversity of people."
The term seasteading has been around since at least 1981, when the avid sailor Ken Neumeyer wrote a book, "Sailing the Farm," that discussed living sustainably aboard a sailboat. Two decades later, the idea attracted the attention of Patri Friedman, the grandson of the economist Milton Friedman, who seized on the notion.
Mr. Friedman, a freethinker who had founded "intentional communities" while in college, was living in Silicon Valley at the time and was inspired to think big. So in 2008 he quit his job at Google and co-founded the Seasteading Institute with seed funding from Peter Thiel, the libertarian billionaire. In a 2009 essay, Mr. Thiel described seasteading as a long shot, but one worth taking. "Between cyberspace and outer space lies the possibility of settling the oceans," he wrote.
The investment from Mr. Thiel generated a flurry of media attention, but for several years after its founding, the Seasteading Institute did not amount to much. A prototype planned for San Francisco Bay in 2010 never materialized, and seasteading became a punch line to jokes about the techno-utopian fantasies gone awry, even becoming a plotline in the HBO series "Silicon Valley."

A solution would be to get them in the countries with low natality, but not the same way like last summer in Germany.
Why should any developed country accept hordes of uneducated immigrants from the third world nations? It can cause a huge increase in the crime rate and the welfare system can come under huge amount of strain. And many of the developed nations, such as Germany and France are already over-populated. The population density in Germany is around 230 per sq.km, which is a bit high IMO.
Dont worry, nature will take care of itself.. doomsday is coming 
I think there is no solution with the over population, its natural for us to multiply. But most countries problems this over population issues like china , they have the policy that only one baby in a family will be born , to reduce their population growth in their country. The only way to solve over population in this world will be the extinction of humans.
What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?
What do you mean with the term 'overpopulation'?
The planet - if used wisely - is able to sustain many times over the number of people that are alive right now.
The problem isn't overpopulation but the misuse and mistreatment of the planet, its area and its resources.
The problem is bad management - not the number of people. Bad governance and poor education based on lies and manipulation.
The whole planet's current population could live just in the area of the state of Texas... just think of that and then get back to us in regards to the term 'overpopulation'.
population growth will always be associated with birth, death and migration rates or migration both outward and outwardly. Population growth is an increase or decrease in the population of an area from time to time.
The growth of the minus population means that the number of people living in an area is decreasing which can be caused by many things.population growth increases if the number of births and migration from outside to inside is greater than the number of deaths and displacement from the inside out.

Overpopulation i consider it is a bit exaggerated because, there are a lot of countries in Europe who's natality is falling from some time now. Overpopulation is present in the countries with pour resources and a low quality education system. A solution would be to get them in the countries with low natality, but not the same way like last summer in Germany. What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?
Scientists say earth is created for 2.000.000.000 people. In some countries, gaverment must procceded law for politics about one child - law about one child by the fammily.
population is blessing to a country.if we make them educated then surely it will be a blessing.
Population is the most problems in are country because this is the number one biggest problem in are country so that we are encourage the women to have a family planing
The problem of overpopulation, may be there, but people do not want to leave the place where they live to another place. You need to motivate them, to offer a good salary.
There is no doubt that family planning is a good way to solve the problem of overpopulation. This policy is well used in China and the population is effectively controlled. 
Population is the number one biggest problem in this world because many of us people always making babies but they dont have work, thats why many children have nothing to eat, they will grow in the streets,sleeps everywhere,.. so that we have to make a family planning for the future of our family and the world..
Population increases every second and some countries made a law to limit number of child in every family. We need to impose the family planning to moderate the rapid increase of the world population.
I think family planning and education can solve the increasing rate of population. Because with education and family planning, they will be disciplined
Allow the law that states a one child policy to all countries.Then there will be no overpopulation.Make a stricter law imposing on having a child.Do not allow teenagets to get pregnant.
Increase taxes for parents with multiple children!
Good idea.. but the problem is that most of the guys who produce dozens of kids in my country are slum-dwellers, who never pay any taxes to the government. So it makes no difference for them. A good option would be to ban anyone with more than one kid from accessing public healthcare, education and other government funded services.
Convince leaders to commit to stabilizing population growth through the exercise of human rights and human development and Integrate lessons on population, environment, and development into school curricula at multiple levels.
