The continued rise in the world’s population is the greatest problem faced by humanity at the present time. What are the causes of this continued rise? Do you agree that it is the greatest problem faced by humanity?

Many nations are now encountering the critical

of the growing

of populations. In my opinion, I strongly agree that

human worldwide is currently facing. In

this

essay, I will explain the cause of

this

issue

and my standpoint on

this

issue

. Overpopulation is caused by several reasons, both individual contributions and external factors. One of the major reasons is the lack of knowledge about birth control. Having an improper education about birth control, many

people

, especially teenagers, tend to unintentionally have a baby. Many surveys show that women aged

15-18 are the segment with the highest percentage of pregnancy among other age groups within the

last

decade.

Consequently

, as the

number

of children raised by young parents is higher, the population of the young generation is increasing consecutively. Another reason is that the advanced technology in the medical field can prevent humans from harmful diseases,

thus

developing their longevity. With innovative equipment, patients were able to get diagnosed and cure more precisely and productively than earlier. In many countries, the

number

of elders in society is growing

as a result

of effective healthcare. From my point of view, massive population growth is indeed a serious problem that

people

should be concerned with since it can attribute to other negative consequences. The

first

problem to address is the shortage of essential things in life -- habitats, food, and energy since there is increasing demand and

limited supply. Another

issue

is global warming, which results from higher natural resource consumption and deforestation to allocate for

people

’s needs. Many countries started to adapt the policy to control the growth rate of the population to alleviate the intensity of

this

problem.

For example

, China government has announced a policy to limit the

number

of children per family, and those who want to have more children need to pay an enormous amount of tax and that child will not be subsidized by the government. In conclusion, I agree that overpopulation is one of the most critical issues in every society which results from the risen

number

of young generations, while

people

have a longer lifespan.

People

should be responsible for concerning and solving

this

issue

together with the government sector as earliest as possible since

this

issue

could accelerate other critical issues in the future.
