The third world has a birth rate which is too high but, the world population today isn't too high that's a myth we could feed ourselves in a continent as big as America alone

ofc, we could feed the planet easily thanks to the GMO, but some people are sceptical of it. But there are more problems to be solved with the overpopulation than just food.

GMO is not the solution to over-population. The ideal solution to over-population is family planning. We need a smaller and healthier population, than a bigger and unhealthy population. GMO food is banned in a lot of nations.

That was just a solution to overfeeding. Well that's the hardest part of it. How to regulate it in the third world countries, their government doesn't care why should they? Systematic sterilization, forced, after one child could slow it down a little.

I believe that there is no need to worry about this, because some people will soon start populating other planets and there will be no need to control the increase in the birth rate.

Ridiculous. None of the other planets are capable of sustaining human life. So the only solution is to limit the population on earth. Because, it is the only planet which can sustain any form of life in the universe.

True, true. With migration, someone always loses. If you have migration like you see in Europe now, then those will leech off welfare and put pressure on the natives. If you have talented immigrants instead, then their countries of origin suffer brain drain, meaning there's less able people there to fix their problems.

Brain drain will happen as long as the working conditions in the third world nations does not improve. Why should any hardworking individual waste his talent in some poor nation infected with corruption and nepotism, when he can better use his talents in the first world? Migration can be beneficial in such situations and circumstances.

But then we'll be back to some sort of chicken-or-egg problem. Why stay in your country if it's fucked up? Why is it fucked up? Coz no one's capable enough to fix it.  Cry

People tend to care more about the now and their families though so they'd probably just leave. Hopefully, the remittances, wisely used, would help families become more economically independent of the government, which would grant a degree of political freedom.

Women emancipation, family planning, education, higher living standard...

In developed countries people don't procreate like rabbits, in fact population is decreasing in most developed countries.

Overpopulation has always been a serious issue in many of the countries but can be resolved by having a proper knowledge of sex. Having right information of contraceptives and a safer sex can unravel this mighty concern...

Continuous population growth has been a big issue not just with my country but in the world. Our world has been bombarded because of too much people living in it. Some countries are planning to have a one child policy because of too much population.

there are several solution to this problem. Some may agree and some may not. Take for example the use of contraceptives, some may find it as the best solution to the problem but the catholic church is against it.

The Catholic church has always been the antagonist of every good intention of the government.  Our president here emphasize the separation of church and the state.  But still they are the one who always opposes the plan of the government to at least keep the population in tolerable state.  The catholic church was against the bill of the government to distribute contraceptives because it is not pro life.  They are even against the death penalty and were always on the side of criminals.  Sorry but that it seems to be like that.

If the Catholic church is against family planing, then the church assets must be seized, and auctioned. Any revenue from these sales must be distributed equally among the couples with more than one child. The church just want to increase the number of adherents. They are not worried about the welfare of these adherents.

I see. It does make sense. Replacement means to maintain stable population? Do you maybe have a link where this is quantified?
Thank you.

The population will hit a point where it will start down-trending. There will be an event that would cause that I believe. Expansion cannot continue forever.

It is already happening. Almost half of the world's population is living in countries such as China and the United States, where the fertility rate is less than that required for replacement (2.16 children per woman is needed for population replacement). But the problem is that, the remaining half is living in regions such as Africa and South Asia, where the fertility rate is very high.

Yes... a replacement fertility means fertility rate needed to maintain a stable population. But I am not sure about this 2.16 figure. I have read certain articles, and there it was given as 2.10. Please note that it is above 2.00, as some children die during their infancy, and there is always a gender imbalance in the births.

We don't have problem with overpopulation at all, there is a problem with the correct distribution of population instead.
There are massive cities and ultra clustered areas with millions of people packed tightly and meanwhile, rural areas and small cities are empty.
The correct way to battle this problem is not to force people to limit birth rate but rather encourage them to migrate to less populated areas.

Mhm, interesting point mate Smiley
