About This Quote
With the world population growing at an exponential rate, it is inevitable that the world will be overpopulated. The problem with overpopulation is that it leads to economic problems. With more people, there are more mouths to feed, more land to farm, and more resources to use. If there is not enough food or land to go around, then war will most likely break out.
There are no easy solutions for this problem, but there are ways of dealing with it. One way of dealing with overpopulation is through birth control. This allows people to have fewer children and spread the wealth around a little better.
Another way of dealing with overpopulation is through family planning. Having fewer children reduces the number of mouths to feed, which means less land to farm, which means less food being used up by birth control. There are also attempts being made now to move the world toward an environmentally friendly way of living.
