Overpopulation is a controversial problem in danger of effecting the entire world. Since resources are so precious only a certian amount of people will be sustainable on the earth. This becomes a problem as humans have an animal like instinct to have children to carry on the population. The population doubles every 40 years meaning that eventually many children will not be needed to carry along the species as there will already be so many people on earth.

Populations fluctuate in regions throughout the years. More recently the regions of Western Europe and Japan have been dropping in terms of population. In Russia where life expectancy is low and alcohol is heavily used, the birthrate has been dropping by 700,000 a year. Number of births has drops 100,000 every year in Germany. However while these countries have dropped in rates others have only grown. media type="custom" key="7979272"
