lack of family planning causes over population.
It is necessary to force each family to give birth to no more than 1 child, because if you do not start controlling births, then the place will not be enough for the land. There are many single children in orphanages, but poor countries continue to give too much birth instead of sheltering a homeless child.
Overpopulation is not really going to be a huge problem in the world, There are vast lands in the Sahara and Gobi desert which can be used to resettle people as long as they can make that place habitable for the rest of mankind.The Arabs and African are giving birth and they may cause overpopulation in the near future.
Yeah sure.. and from where we are going to find food for all these people. Already the world is running short of fresh water for irrigation. If you resettle people in Sahara, then who is going to feed them?
In my country for those who are married are required to have only 2 children. It is already a government program to address the growing population. And I agree with this.
People always argue about the consequence of overpopulation on the food supply. Rarely do I see brought up what havoc would occur if the birth rate drop to an even level. Many aspects of society (social security, economic growth, the ability to pay interest on the nation debt) all rely on the assumption that the population will continue to rise. Controlling birth rate wouldn't solve our problems, it would simply change our problem from possible food sacristy to global economic collapse.

The main problem facing the world right now is that it is not the intelligent and the educated who are having children. Countries with the highest IQ, such as South Korea and China are having somewhere between 1.0 and 1.45 children per woman. On the other hand, countries such as Afghanistan and Niger, where the average IQ is less than 65 is having between 6 and 8 children per woman.
Like I said earlier, it's not that there is overpopulation that is the problem, really. The problem is that those countries incapable of even providing the basic amenities have their people breeding like rabbits. Meanwhile, even the Koreans are nervous of what would happen to them. East Asia and Europe, two of the most advanced regions in the world, are actually ageing and the birth rate is not enough to keep up their population.

Look at that list at 1:35 . The top 3 are Niger, Burindi and Mali, hardly "good" countries in terms of providing services to citizens.

Information and education. Making people aware would be the best thing to reduce over population. Family planning, contrceptives, calendar, withdrawal, there are a lot of ways to control he population and people just have to know the ways on how to achieve this.
We have wars and cancer for the population control. What else do you need? Look at the world, if Governments didn't want us to die, they wouldn't leave these questions unsolved.
The fact is that in reality it's very noticeable that someone is interested in reducing the population of the planet. Judging by how many viruses and diseases there are, this is the evidence of this version. I'm not talking about the harmful industry and products that feed all people. 
Stale food will always be thrown away. If the population increases, then the food will become more and more expensive. Remember that the farmland doesn't increase with the rise in population. The total area available for farming is limited. And this area is declining every year, due to global warming, urbanization, industrial pollution.etc
Still looks wasteful though. Even in the US they're trying to find ways to get those food to those that need them.
As for farmland, you can always grow plants using hydroponics and artificial light. The only limiting factor would be getting the electricity needed to power those. This is from Japan, which they sent to Qatar 7 years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnycizKw04s&t=2s We can just imagine how much it has progressed from then.
But at the same time technology always yields better result.

True, educated women have less children and much later. They have a career to worry about. A job also reduce birth rate. I saw a business show on TV where a nurse has made her own textile business. She employed women she met at the pregnancy center she used to work in. She noted that compared to those she did employ (she still check on her former patients), the unemployed tend to have more kids.
What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?
I know this may sound evil and bad, but this is the only best solution I can think of right now, and I think that a lot of people has to die. The question is, who and how? I suggest that people who are 80 years old and above, and all criminals who committed heinous and grave crimes, and all drug addicts should be executed, by injecting a lethal drug or just by hanging just to save money. The scientists should create a "vaccine" which should be injected to every human being on earth and every new born babies, that would automatically end your life if you reach the age of 80.
You might want to ask me why I chose those people? The answer is simply because they are already useless in our society, the 80 years old and above people have already did their part as a member of the society and they need to rest, if you know what I mean.
What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?
The case of over population is a fundamental thing that needs to be tackled head on. In as much as I wont support restriction on the amount of children to be given birth to, there is still more to be done in allowing people to give birth just like inviting someone over in the case of immigration with minimum income so also it should be for children and then we should do away with unwanted pregnancies because those are the children that turn into social menace in the society.
One way for a country to control population growth is to institute laws that prohibit high fertility. China, for instance, is well known for instituting a "one child policy" which makes it illegal for urban couples to have more than one child. Another important way to limit population growth is to increase the rate of contraception among the population. While contraception and education about using it is widely available in rich countries, people in poor countries may not have access to simple contraceptive methods like condoms, or even know what they are. Not only can poor nations in areas like Africa and southeast Asia benefit from the fertility control aspect of contraception, but condoms can also help prevent the spread of STDs like AIDS, which is an epidemic in many poor nations.
It is necessary in poor countries to make more affordable contraception and introduce education for sexual relations and family planning. In more developed countries, most people are wisely approaching this issue.

Its just that no one really knows if 7 Billion is much, there is enough Space and Food to have 70 Billion people easy. I think it depends more on how societys would scale. I can't see the French living that a civilized life, when they would have the population of India.
Even with a population of 7 billion, there is not enough food and water available to feed everyone in this world. And you are talking about a population of 70 billion? It is simply not possible to sustain that many people in this planet.
Half of the food is thrown away so yeah there is enough food. Just look how fat people are.

Population is the most alarming issue nowadays in the world, Because of increasing at a high rate we can't afford this population properly especially in the least developed countries. We are experiencing the shortage of food and shelter due to heavy rate of population. Many countries can't offer the basic human rights to the new generation. Providing accommodation we are losing our cultivable land, in the mean time we are facing food crisis. So the high population should be controlled as soon as possible we can...
first of all ask if their even is a problem with over population.
