What are the advantages of overpopulation?

OVERPOPULATION;

Strength or Weakness for the World

More than 7 billion people currently inhabit the planet, compared to only 3 billion in 1967. Every year about 135 million people are born and million people die, adding 80 million to our global population.

As many of you know, the taboo topic of overpopulation, a very controversial one, is seldom discussed these days. Overpopulation occurs when a population of a species exceeds the carrying capacity of it's ecological niche.

Population of both the countries are as a asset not weakness for both, whatever problems there it's because of the system and individual greed not population. Population it self is a asset in terms of Workforce, Market, Individual Potential and Human Needs.

That's about one United States every 4 years, or 1 billion more every 12 years. Almost half of the global population is under the age of 25 and their reproductive years will determine whether we have 6 billion or 14 billion people by 2100. Firstly OVER is a relative term, population of India and China are high as comparison to other countries.

Social Equality

ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION

Overpopulation is also bound to re examin traditional gender roles, bringing true social and economic quality for women. In addition to social equality, more inventions are invitable to help solve the common problems that may arise due to the large population.This can create more jobs, which improves the economy for the better.

Human Overpopulation

The term human overpopulation refers to the relationship between the entire human population and it's environment: the Earth, or to smaller geographical areas such as countries; overpopulation can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates, an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely populated areas to be overpopualted if the area has a meager or non-existent capability to sustain life (e.a.g desert).

Human overpopulation occurs when the ecological footprint of a human population in a specific geographical location exceeds the carrying capacity of the place occupied by the group. Overpopulation can further be viewed, in a long term perspective, as existing when a population can not be maintained given the degradation of the capacity of the environment to give support to the population.

Advocates of population moderation cities issues like quality of life, carrying capacity and risk of starvation as a basis to argue against continuing high human population growth and for population decline. Scientists suggest that the human impact on the environment as a result of overpopulation, profligate consumption and ploriferation of technology has pushed the planet into a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.

In the wild,over population often results in growth in the populations of predators. This has the effect of cotrolling the preg population and ensuring it's evolution in favor of genetic charaeteristles that render it less volnerable to prediton land the predator may co-evolve,in responsel.

In the absence of predators, specles are bound by the resources they can find in their environment, but this doesn't necessarlly control over population,at least in the short term. An abundant supply for resourses can produce apopulation crash. Rodents such as lemings and voles have such cycles of rapid population growth and subsequent decrease.

Snowshoe hares populations similarg cycled dramatically, as did those of one of their predators, the lynx.

The intruduction of a foreign specles has often caused ecological disturbance, as when deer and trout were introduced into Argentina, when rabbits were introduced to Australia, and indeed when predators such as cats were introduced in turn to attempt to control the rabbits.

Some specled such as locusts experience large natural cyclic variations, experienced by farmers as plagues.

◦ Disadvantage of overpopulation

0. More mouths to feed

0. Lower standard of living

0. Poverty

0. Over crowded cities

0. Sickness and spreading of disease

0. Insufficient natural resources to provide adequate goods and services.

0. Inadequate facilities, such as housing, medical, e.t.c.

0. Problem of starvation and malnourished population

0. Education facilities may not meet the requirements of the entire population

0. Unemployment

◦ The evidence from archaeology is clear. Our predecessors in the genus Homo used social hunting strategies and tools of stone and fire to extract more sustenance from landscapes than would otherwise be possible. And, of course, Homo sapiens went much further, learning over generations, once their preferred big game became rare or extinct, to make use of a far broader spectrum of species. They did this by extracting more nutrients from these species by cooking and grinding them, by propagating the most useful species and by burning woodlands to enhance hunting and foraging success.

◦ Many scientists believe that transforming the earth's natural landscapes, we are undermingin the very life support systems that sustain us. Like bacteria in a Petri dish, our exploding numbers are reaching the limits of a finite planet, with dire consequences. Disaster looms as humans exceed the Earth's natural carrying capacity. Clearly, this could not be sustainable.

◦ But these claims demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of the ecology of human system. The conditions that sustain humanity are not natural and never have been. Since prehistory, human populations have used technologies and engineered ecosystems to sustain populations well beyond the capabilities of unaltered "natural" ecosystem.

◦ Even before the last ice age had ended, thousands of years before agriculture, hunter gatherer societies were well established across the earth and depended increasingly on sophisticated technological strategies to sustain growing populations in landscapes long ago transformed by their ancestors.

Thank You!

One advantage of over population is that as population grows,so does the information economy.

Overpopulation also create more urbanizationn which translates to economic development.

According to an info graphic designed by Eye Candy only countries with hight levels of urbanization reach significant economic growth and income levels.

Acording to the Washington post,overpopulation can be benefical because the more people there are, the more information economy will grow. For example more people do more jobs, which causes invotation. People produce more art and create more technology.

Data suggest that the world population grows by two percent each year. Some speculate that another two billion will be added to the world population by the year 2030. This rate of growth is far beyond reasonable. For example, the U.S population will grow by over 100 million by year 2050.
