there is no overpopulation, earth has enough space for everyone
it's just that we are all jammed in one city and that's why you perceive this as "overpopulation"
demand and supply will adjust that though and smaller cities will in the future become large, and therefore facilitate more people

There is really a population problem nowadays. It is what we call overpopulation. The cities are being too crowded because of immigrants from the rural areas transferring to the urban areas thinking they will get a good salary for a job in the city. Being overcrowded and overpopulated means there is a problem with regards to family planning that's why the government should strictly implement an ordinance about family planning.

Where are you from OP - I am not noticing any population problem, there is some crowding in the cities - bit that is because people choose to live there, there is plenty of space for everyone.

If overpopulation becomes a problem, we have to find the right solution
This may begin with government programs to limit the number of children in the family and ban marriage in adolescence

Most people that has no job or decent home have more children!! and that is the big problem ..
I think we should limit the number of children in every family .. having a child with no marriage shall be punishable by law on both parties ..
so we can limit having illegitimate children and number of population in every country .. the more numbers of people will result to more pollution around the world... and we will have shortage in supplies while the demand in food will be large and will result to a bigger problem sooner or later !

Most important method to control overpopulation is education;people, particularly those in reproductive age group, should be educated about the advantages of a small family and ill-effects of large families and overpopulation. In this, mass media like radio, television, newspapers, magazines, posters etc. and educational institutions can play important role. Government should provide free and compulsory primary education to the children below the age of 14 years. In China, there is a legislation making “basic primary education free, compulsory and universal.”

Yes overpopulation is one of the biggest problem that our world facing right now.I think one child policy is the best solution to lessen the overpopulation of the world. This child should learn when is the right time to have a baby to avoid early pregnancy that can cause overpopulation. We should always think if the action that we will do has a good result and will not lead in having a problem.

Yes sir there are a lot of problem that is connected with the over population. First is the poverty, imagine a family with 8 siblings then the only person who's working is their father. Imagine how they survive their daily needs. Another problem is the poor employment rate.

You know killing people doesn't need a help to lessen the overpopulation. But, if we had to learn the basic sex education for young adolescence. It must probably good to avoid early pregnancy.

I do not think that you need to do something, because in the event of possible global wars or disasters, the number of people will decrease. In addition, the ecology worsens and life expectancy will decrease.

With the concept of ruralization yaituperpopulation from city to village, can reduce the density of the population.the benefits derived from this concept besides the equity of the population, rural development can also develop with the entry of urban communities. As for other factors driving this concept in addition to a large area, including the saturation of living in the city, the price of land in the city more expensive so unreachable, advancing the village or the region of origin, feeling unable to follow the dynamics of life in the city. Interest factors such as the price of land in the countryside is still relatively cheap, the pattern of community life is simpler, calmer atmosphere, making it suitable for the elderly population in retirement, association with the area of ​​origin or childhood memories.

for me start to investing in Human Skills  make projects with real money and let young solve it

I don't know from where did you got the 99% figure. Right now around 30% of the surface area of the earth is under human inhabitation. In the tropical regions, this proportion rises to around 70%. Most of the remaining area is compsoed of deserts, tundra, swamps, water bodies, and ice-caps, which are not suitable for human inhabitation.

Indeed, if you examine the trends in many countries you will notice that the population is actually in decline. And what exactly do you define as over population?

Overpopulation is a myth. Ever been on an airplane? 99% of Earth is empty. Well not 99%, but you know what I mean. Most places are not inhabited.

There is no over-population. The oceans are available. Seasteading. Use them.

I think there's no way to solve over population because you can't stop each and everyone from having sex. The best way is to let them be aware of the effect of having a lot of children. Family planning is the best possible solution.

Some epic epidemic would solve the thing

It is already a big issue and in the future, it is likely to worsen further. And the biggest problem is that the overpopulation problem is most severe in the densely-populated countries. Take the example of countries such as Egypt and Bangladesh. The population density (excluding the desert area) is more than 1,000 people per sq km in these nations. And even then, the population is growing at a rate of 2% to 3% per year.

Overpopulation where the number of existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by number of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which results in overpopulation. It is possible for a sparsely populated area to become densely populated if it is not able to sustain life. Growing advances in technology with each coming year has affected humanity in many ways. One of these has been the ability to save lives and create better medical treatment for all. A direct result of this has been increased lifespan and the growth of the population. In the past fifty or so years, the growth of population has boomed and has turned into overpopulation. In the history of our species, the birth and death rate have always been able to balance each and maintain a population growth rate that is sustainable.

Solution Overpopulation
One of the first measures is to implement policies reflecting social change. Educating the masses helps them understand the need to have one or two children at the most. As population of this world is growing at a rapid pace, raising awareness among people regarding family planning and letting them know about serious after effects of overpopulation can help curb population growth. Government of various countries might have to come with various policies related to tax exemptions to curb overpopulation. Imparting sex education to young kids at elementary level should be must.
