INTRODUCTION:

In
most countries of the world the population is increasing
alarmingly.This is especially true in poor, developing and even in
developed countries.Overpopulation causes a number of problems.

BODY:

In poor countries, It is difficult to provide enough food to feed even the present number of people. In addition, education to limit the number of children per family is not always successful . Poorer countries

usually have a lot of unemployment too, and an increase in population
simply makes the situation worse. The environment also suffers when
there are too many
people living on the land.

In
rich, industrialised and developing countries it is very difficult for
governments to provide effective pulic services in overcrowded cities.
Moreover there is usually a great deal
more crime which is often
due to high rates of unemployment. Further large increases in
population only cause more overcrowding unemployment and crime.

There
are two main solutions to the overpopulation problem. Firstly, every
woman who is pregnant but who does not want to give birth, should be
allowed by law to have an abortion. Secondly,
governments must educate people to limit the size of the family.

CONCLUSION:

To
sum up, if the population explosion continues, many more people will
die of starvation in poor countries, and life in the cities, even in
rich nations, will become increasingly difficult.
