Facing the Problems of Overpopulation

Even though overpopulation is not the sole reason for world hunger, environmental problems, under-development, poverty, and urban problems, all of those issues are aggravated by rapid population growth. Some of the factors that influence the fer­tility rate include cultural traditions, age at marriage, availability of family planning services, government policies, and educational opportunities, particularly for women. If population growth is slowed and resource consumption per person is de­creased, the world will be in a better position to tackle many of its most serious environmental problems.
