Today, the population is getting larger and larger, older people
living longer and longer, people give birth to more and more
children, and that’s the cause of overpopulation. Overpopulation is
one of the world’s biggest problems; it causes the poor to get
poorer and poorer. The resources are getting deficient because so
many people are using them. Additionally, since there are so many
people in the world, the environment is getting wasted. We should
find some ways like family planning or giving people a better
education system to solve this problem.
One of the reasons that cause overpopulation might be the lack
of education. There might be more human resources for having so
many children, and having so many people in a family might be
helpful for doing works. But the more people there are, the more we
have to pay for their livings.
Family planning is one of the solutions to overpopulation. Many
governments now sponsor family planning. If governments make
laws or implement rules, in my opinion, the government should
make a law to control each family to have kids under a maximum. If
the law truly exists, I think the overpopulation problem will be

well-controlled.
Another solution to overpopulation might be to give people sex
education. People now think it’s not necessary to have education
about sex. But the truth is it’s extremely serious! There are some
courses about this now, but it isn’t professional and it’s always
secondary! I think that “sex education” shall be a mandatory subject
in school because we undoubtedly have to be aware of how serious
it is.
Although family planning can control birth, it may not help to
solve the problem from the roots. Although sex education helps
people to understand what sex is about, there are still a lot of
people who dislike school and don’t listen attentively in class. So, to
improve the economy might be the better way. Overpopulation
can’t be easily controlled. Mainland China used to implement family
planning, one family can only raise one child. However, it didn’t
work, and the family planning failed.
Overpopulation is a significant problem now. People shall
be aware of this big problem. The society should take effective
steps to solve this problem, to control birth or other ways to make
