The world is experiencing a dramatic increase in population, which is causing problems not only for poor, undeveloped countries, but also for developed countries. Describe problems of overpopulation and give at least one possible solution.

#world #population #countries #overpopulation
Today we are observers of the
population
 increasing all over the world. Though lack of the
population
 has
problems
, increasing dramatically of it has it's
problems
 as well. Some experts believe that
although
 increasing the
population
 might have some advantages and benefits for thinly populated
countries
,
overpopulation
 has many
problems
 for either developed and undeveloped
countries
.
Overpopulation
 in developed
countries
 makes the duties of government more difficult.
For instance
, providing enough food or maybe water for drinking and personal usage, preparing accommodation for all
people
, building an appropriate residence for them, controlling transportation, taking care of them against different diseases, offering a job for
people
, arresting the murders and thieves, etc. The
problems
 of
overpopulation
 are more difficult and harder for undeveloped and poor
countries
 because life is very hard for
people
 in these
countries
 naturally and their government generally can'
t
 meet the needs of
people
,
thus
,
overpopulation
 makes life in these
countries
 much harder and the society becomes poorer and poorer. Overall, there are some solutions for controlling the
population
 one of them is: every country should have an obvious plan for the number of their
population
 and limitations of it for now, near future and long run which is called
population
 controlling politics.
Also
, the government should inform the families about
this
 plan widely. To sum up, if
countries
 don'
t
 have a persistent control and don'
t
 control the number of their
population
, they will face several
problems
 and if they can'
t
 handle the
problems
, life becomes much difficult for
people
 in these
countries
