The question of the world’s population has always been of great human interest because it is connected with different global issues like employment, housing and consumption of natural resources. Thus, there is an opinion that one of the crucial problems of humanity is overpopulation. However, others believe it is not true. But who is right?

In my opinion, the former is. Firstly, it leads to economic problems. When a country becomes overpopulated, it increases the unemployment level making people unable to pay taxes. Secondly, overcrowding results in environmental concern. It depletes resources because the planet cannot provide all 7 billion inhabitants. Thirdly, criminal instability in any country directly related with number of people living there.

On the contrary, others say congestion of population is not a serious problem. It is worth mentioning that government and local authorities are able to control it. Due to relocation projects people can be distributed all over the world. Moreover, the question of overpopulation can be resolved by itself. Numerous wars, mortal viruses can play its role in the process of regulation.

But I do not agree with this point of view. All the suggested variants in the opposing opinion underline the seriousness of this problem because if the solution involves the death and violence, it means that overpopulation is really a serious problem.

In conclusion, I would like to stress out again that the major issue nowadays is the big number of people living on the Earth.
