Weather and climate changes are also due to overpopulation. More population means more pollution of the environment and that eventually leads to climate changes.

Sorry to disrespect whomever os reading my comment. But People need to receive real education so they can intentionally have fewer kids. In Brazil the less education access people have, the more kids they have.

The biggest culprit here is human IGNORANCE. Education is the ultimate weapon to tackle this major problem. Pass it on!

AND CELEBRATE SMALL FAMILIES... How can this video not mention population numbers? On an over-crowded world, people who don't have children should be given due respect and recognition for their 'contribution'.

Of all the environmental problems our planet is facing today, overpopulation is the one that sometimes slips from the radar. Overpopulation places a great demand on resources and land, which may be the reason for widespread environmental issues in addition to impacting global economies and standards of living.
Poverty is to be believed as the major cause of overpopulation. High mortality rate and lack of educational resources, leads to high birth rates, resulting in a large population.
If overpopulation grows, this effect is said to be so widespread that the United Nations has predicted that the 48 poorest countries of the world contribute to the largest population growth. They estimate that the combined population of these countries is expected to be 1.7 billion in 2050 from 850 million in 2010.

The effects of the overpopulation are quite severe. One of these is the lack of natural resources. Earth has the capacity to only produce a limited amount of food and water, falling short of current needs of the people which are increasing day by day.

Rapid population growth makes the choice between high consumption and investment needed to bring more consumption in the future more scarce. Economic development depends on investment. Therefore, rapid population growth repels the investment needed for higher future consumption.

With a rapidly growing population, the adjustment becomes difficult to manage with economic and social change. Urbanization in UDC creates problems like housing, electricity, water, transport etc. In addition, the growing population is at risk of permanent environmental damage through urbanization in some rural areas.

The rapidly growing population transforms the economy into mass unemployment and low employment. As the population increases, the ratio of workers to the total population increases. The result is that with an increase in the labour force, unemployment and low employment increases. Rapid increment of the population reduces savings and investment.

Domestic consumption of exportable goods also increases with rapid population growth. As a result, there is a decline in the exportable surplus. On the other hand just to meet the demand of the rapidly growing population, more food and other consumer goods are needed so that demand can be fulfilled.

Can i have a permission to used some clip for my activity?thankyou

[catguy]

This is exactly why condoms were invented!

[whitelotusvoice-over]

FUTURE JOBS= FUTURE POPULATION, ELSE CASTE SYSTEM MONEY APARTEID, MANY SUCH LONG LIVING BAD EFFECTS, ALSO YOU NEED 8.4 ACRES PER PERSON IN FUTURE. ALSO CUSTOMERS AND BUISNESS AND LOANS OF BANKERS NEED ONLY PEOPLE WITH JOBS, INCREASE 2 JOBS PER PERSON TO INCREASE BUISNESS, NOT POPULATION, GIVE FREE TIME, MORE RESERCH HAPPEN, SLOOF

[prankshow]

Think and write about how we can reuse the negative impact of the growing population (150 words max).

GUYS THIS IS MY ASSIGNMENT PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS

[enso_freestyle_create]

Did you copy this? The video is good tho, not gonna lei

[alexanderpowell]

Funny how there's no mention of the nickel shortage- not enough nickel to maintain production levels of EVs now but hey, with magic harry potter socialism, we can all drive electric vehicles!
# Need more nickel mines.

It's an individual responsibility to reduce population..why can't you just adopt kids instead of producing one?
