The Problems of the New Millenium

Overpopulation is a major global problem faced by many countries around the world. Some issues caused by overpopulation include increased pollution, poverty, unemployment, crime rates, and depletion of natural resources. While population control policies have been implemented in some areas, there are no easy solutions to address overpopulation on a large scale. Reducing birth rates through education and empowering women are options that could help mitigate the effects of overpopulation over the long run.
