As population grows, consumption of valuable resources and pollution increases, which threatens to overwhelm the Earth’s ability to provide for the human race and other life forms Overpopulation creates low living standards,  outbreaks of civil wars, not enough jobs, poor food supplies, and reduced education standards Effects Of Over Population

22. Train and educate the people of developing countries so that they can pursue industrialization.  As they progress, they will be less dependent on other countries for assistance Educate the people in how to manage their existing natural resources sustainable Demonstrate to the people how their natural resources can be used to generate income (example:  ecotourism and its associated benefits ) Solutions to curb populations explosion

23. Consider means of financing industrialization efforts.This  an be in the shape of loans,  outright gifts,  etc.  from countries which are already developed Educate the developing countries about agriculture.  Help them discover which crops can be successfully grown in their climates and teach them how to grow these crops so that they will be less dependent on outside aid for food Educate the people about the effects of overpopulation on their own nation Provide information on birth control methods and finance projects to provide this technology to the people
