Overpopulation

 

Is there anything we can really do about overpopulation? 

The earth right now has over 7.8 billion people on it and increases ever single day.Its increasing by about 80 million per year. By 2100 it is assumed that we will have a estimated amount of 10.8 billion.Because of todays new technology,medicine,and general hygine we are living a lot longer and growing in size to fast.

One of the reasons we are populating to fast is becasue of girls lack of education.About 15 million girls arnt attending school past the grade of 8. If we had more education these girls would delay the rate of child birth at such a young age and would be focusing on school.If education is provided it would mean that these young women woudnt be marrying at such a young age.

Some effects of overpopulation right now is with all the people it is causing a huge climate change.there will be more increased conflicts throughout the countries.some reasons why we are going into this pandemic stage is because of all the humans are destorying wildlife habitats.How exactly are we supposed to social distance when we have a whole 7,8 billion people on this planet?

 

What are some things that can be done?

How can we provide and encouage these woman to provoke school.

  • I don't think we can really do much about overpopulation. We can't just tell people to stop having kids and kill people for no reason. I don't think "lack of education" from girls has anything to do with overpopulation. You can't just point your finger at women and say it wasn't also the man's fault. If you are going to educate the women you also have to educate the men.

  • This doesnt really have anything to do with just women or their lack of education. I also dont think there is much you can do for overpopulation besides accomidate for it. Also I dont think education is the problem either, theres not really anyhting you can do about it.

  • I think that this doesn't have anything to do with women and there really isn't any slowing down overpopulation you just have to accomidate for it. If we could go to mars it could solve overpopulation easily. I think that education isn't even the problem. There is no solving it you can only accomidate for it. 

  • I do not think we can really do anything about over-population. We cant just go kill half the population so I dont know what to do about that. We could fix pollution by being more environmentally friendly and not using as much plastic and if everyone did that, I think we would be fine.

  • I don't know what could be done. How do we lower population without it being murder. Maybe people waiting until later in there life to have children could help. The reason why the population isn't higher now is because of the World Wars and the the diseases that effected people way back in time.

  • I don't think therre is a bunch of girls dropping out of school but I do think girls could get better education on what it takes to care for a child. I don't think we can do too much but try our best to agree on certain things.

    • there are alot of girls not attending school they arnt dropping out they are forced to marry early so they dont have a choice to go 

  • I think that our earth is getting over populated and we do need to stop. I think that one way to stop it is that families can only have 3 babies but I don't think that could work. I think that we will find a way to stop it but im not really worried about it because a lot of us won't be alive in 2100.

  • I think that we obviously cant do anything about the over population because it will just keep and keep increasing everyday... And other than another huge pandemic or another war, I really don't think there are any other helpful ways to prevent the growth of the population. I feel like we can maybe offer teens more academic opportunities and just keep insisting that education is the best choice for them.

  • We can't really do anything with over population unless a big war breaks out and kills have the population. There is not a good way to stop over population. With  climate change I feel there are some ways that people can help that, but it would take a lot of people to make a change with the world
