Overpopulation have became a great threat to us from a total of 3.5 billion in 2009 to 7.7 billion today the population have increased a lot in only a time period of 11 years. I will keep the information concise. Let's have a look at the reasons and why it is happening. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QsBT5EQt348/maxresdefault.jpg [Source](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QsBT5EQt348/maxresdefault.jpg) ## Major Causes Of Overpopulation #### POVERTY It is one of the major reason of overpopulation with poverty comes illiteracy and in last some years we have seen a boom in population in the place where there is poverty . #### POOR CONTRACEPTIVE USE The availability of contraceptives are widely spread in many developed countries. Poor planning can lead to unexpected pregnancies the stats show that 76% of women in UK uses one form of contraceptive . https://d3pbdxdl8c65wb.cloudfront.net/cloudinary/2019/Jul/18/oVbIXDAT7FFn2GDj9uoz.jpg [Source](https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/07/19/689201/contraception-a-scandal-down-under) <br/> #### CHILD LABOUR This is a bitter truth that child labour is still prevailing in many parts of the world according to UNICEF there are more than 150 million children working in different part of the world . children are seen as a source of money for rich people. This lead to lack of education among children and hence they have no knowledge of contraceptive methods which lead to overpopulation. https://blog.ipleaders.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/child-labour.jpg [Source](https://blog.ipleaders.in/child-labour-laws-in-india/) <br/> #### MORTALITY RATE There has been an improvement in medical technology which has led to reduction of mortality rate thus many deadly diseases such as polio, smallpox and Measles have Been eradicated by these advancement. #### FERTILITY TREATMENT This plays a minor role as compared to other causes of overpopulation , improved fertility treatment have increased chances for all to give birth to their children. <br/>  [Source](https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/448319337899430531/?nic_v2=1a5HdQ17K) <br/> --- --- <br/> ## HOW TO STOP OVERPOPULATION #### Empower Women Studies indicate that it is easier for women with access to reproductive health care to break out of poverty, while those who work are more likely to take advantage of birth control. The goal of the United Nations Population Fund is to resolve both problems at once, by running micro-credit initiatives to turn young people into advocates of reproductive health. #### PROMOTE FAMILY PLANNING It can have a major effect on educating males and females about contraception. In 1989, when Iran implemented a national programme of family planning, its fertility rate declined from 5.6 births per woman to 2.6 in a decade. In only five years, a parallel campaign in Rwanda has seen a threefold rise in contraceptive use. https://www.studying-in-germany.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bring-your-family-to-germany.jpg [Source](https://www.studying-in-germany.org/bringing-your-family-to-germany-on-a-student-visa/) #### MAKE EDUCATION ENTERTAINING To meet women, the US-based Population Media Center gets innovative. As many as 500 million people in 50 countries have heard his radio soap operas, which contain culturally relevant storeys about reproductive issues. 63 percent of women in Ethiopia who seek reproductive health services reported tuning in. #### GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES Those at the Population Matters UK charity claim that a senior government official should be responsible for resolving population-related issues. They encourage policymakers to support "responsible parenthood" and say that, unless the family lives in poverty, subsidies should be restricted to the first two children.

Amnesty International, however, claims that coercive or forced abortions and sterilisations were the result of the programme. It also undermined traditional systems of care for the elderly and resulted in a gender gap. <br/> --- --- <br/> ## Summary Reducing population growth and reducing fertility would boost the stability and adaptive potential of populations in the near term, as well as reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. According to the working group, population declines could reduce the risk of climatic impacts in the long term. Each an every one of us should start spreading knowledge to keep people around us updated with the most latest information. <br/> ### References and Learn More about it - https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/causes-effects-solutions-of-overpopulation.php - https://medium.com/swlh/the-surprising-solution-to-overpopulation-ee12704f9edc - https://www.positive.news/society/5-possible-solutions-overpopulation ## Find me on - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chandna.vishal1234/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/vishal-chandna/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/chandnavishal
