After researching out of pure curiousity for around a week now, I am deeply worried for the world in near future years. The problem; OVERPOPULATION.
How do we solve overpopulation? Is it even possible to solve overpopulation? Do we need another Bubonic Plague?

The edgy but true answer? Sterilization of massive parts of the world.
The moral but fairly unrealistic answer? Have every country put their full efforts into not only space travel, but efficient cars, planes, food, buildings, and production.
The world is if anything dramatically underpopulated.
But if you really thought it was a problem the solution is economic growth. There remains exactly one economically developed country with an above replacement fertility level.
Unironically feminism.
It worked in Europe, East Asia and the Americas. There is no reason why it wouldn't work in Africa and the Middle East.
If you put every person on the planet shoulder to shoulder they would occupy the entirety of the Los Angeles area and not any more
Islam and Feminism would never work
cheap and easy to get birth control
vaccines and anti biotics to reduce child deaths.
put women to work full time outside the house.
stopping immigration of the third world into the first world, and aid from the first world into the third world. we've been propping up the population growth in shit holes and then importing their surplus population. So that they can continue to have 3 or more children for a few generations. while the native populations in our country are having 1.5 or less children.
Don't a lot of Africans see birth control ads an affront to their culture and religion?
put chemicals in Africa, and the indian subcontinent
they're the ones breeding like fleas
not even magic-coding pajeets can reverse the bug-like-reproduction imperative within the indian mind
>neolibs still think a first World level of development uniform throughout the world is possible or even preferable for those running the world
pajeets are terrible coders
i don't know why the fuck anyone uses them or chink coders. used to work a job just debugging the crap churned out by the pajeets the company got h1b visas for.
Why would first world nations care? It's not their countries being overpopulated and they could apply strict border control if the nations with population problems try to emigrate their people.
Japan is the true path to the future. low immigration, low birthrate, shrinking population, automation, and homogeneous ethnicity and culture.
western neoliberalism is the path to collapse.
Have you been following the news? Not a single first world country seems to have it in them to do what it takes to actually control mass migrations.
The entire human population could fit in Texas with an acre of land in between them.
We have more than enough food, water and land for everyone.Too many people isn't the problem, mismanagement of resources is.
You said it yourself, shrinking population. If we want a billion people on earth, all living in first world countries, sure. But what happens to the other 6 billion?
What can be used for mass sterilization?
which is possible because of western aid. let's admit, the west doesn't want a stable prosperous south america, africa, middle east.
kill all the shitskins
South America can actually develop well though since it's not really in the purview of many entities.
Most of South Americas issues are issues of it's past an history coming back up to haunt them alongside one of the worst upper class to draw politicians and people from.
Over population is not a problem for anybody but rich people and urban dwellers. The real problem is concentration of that many people in such a small area, they become unmanageable. If you spread the resources the people will follow.
Industrialise and improve standards of living...
...lowering infant mortality correlates with fertility
Yeah and each of them needs like 5 acres for food and living space.
Stack everything.
Even cities in India are becoming below replacement level population growth
The elephant in the room is fucking Africa, luckily for everybody they will never industrialize and never consume large amounts of resources, they are economically irrelevant, not developed enough to become producers, and too poor to act as consumers
In terms of resource usage a western couple with two children is MUCH worse than an African couple with 8 children
>it's a people still think overpopulation is an issue and not urban population density episode
>The elephant in the room is fucking Africa, luckily for everybody they will never industrialize and never consume large amounts of resources, they are economically irrelevant, not developed enough to become producers, and too poor to act as consumers
They are developing and industrializing though.
>industrialization caused overpopulation
>industrialize even more to be able to attain overpopulation
Stop food aid to Africa.
This, the left are actually right on this one. Promote women having careers instead of having families and kids and promote same sex couples and "non gender binary" and trans people who cannot have children.
The world is underpopulated
Just wait for famine to set in, nature always finds a way to balance resources.
>Reduce child death
>stop over popuation
Pick one
really raises some questions
(mainly about your mental faculties)
Increase the average living standard for the individual, with a lower individual living standard you can have lots of kids living at what society considers an average life, as that standard gets higher the money spent on each child has to get higher, and the social mechanisms of shame push people into ensuring their children have at least the standard of living for their children that matches the average living standard of the nation at large, the expenses this causes makes it less viable to have multiple children.
In other words, when my grandmother had dhildren, she had five, when my mother had children, she had 3, when my cousin wanted children, they had one and plan to have 2.
Lol
Economictimes is the indian version of Breitbart
2.3 fertility is above replacement, and it doesn't even account for population momentum. India's fertility has remained far higher than anyone expected, hence the reason the UN population projections keep rising for India.
Them hindus breed
Just stop feeding africa.
child birth rates dramatically dropped in the west when children stopped dying easily and actually survived till adulthood.
you no longer needed to have 7 kids to make sure a few became adults.
then the industrial revolution eliminated the need for child labor. so kids were now only good as future tax payers to keep social welfare spending programs solvent.
America's Greatest Generation was smaller than the Baby Boomers. yet during the period where the Greatest and the Boomers were in power. They set up a bunch of government spending. then the boomers fucked up and had Gen X. which is smaller than the boomers significantly. which was then corrected by importing a bunch of hispanics or letting the illegals and their anchor babies stay. so now the millenials are a larger generation than the boomers.
>he fell for le overpopulation meme
Not a problem unless you are in africa..
But its only a matter of time when niggers get their shit together and stop breeding, since their chances of survival increase so theyll eventually realise that there is no need for a billion babies
I dunno about muslims though
When Genghis Khan was conquering Asia, he slaughtered so many people he caused global cooling.
Just putting it out there that there is a simple historical solution for multiple modern-day problems.
Third World immigrants are almost always net beneficiaries of welfare programs in the short to medium term.
Even over the lifespan, as a cohort they tend to be low paid and a net burden on welfare states. You really cannot find your welfare state with immigration from the developing world unless you either cut benefits, raise taxes, or create a two tiered system where immigrants get less in benefits and/or pay more in tax.
>the solution is economic growth
except the little fact that first world countries waste the most resources in the world. if you scale that up 100 times it won't be a matter of simply over population, but strip mining the earth to feed all the new consumer's appetites, which will accelerate environmental catastrophe the world over
...
>There is no reason why it wouldn't work in Africa and the Middle East.
Aside from the fact that, /pol/ memes aside, niggers and dunecoons aren't actually retarded. I don't know how the fuck we got talked into this whole women's suffrage thing, biggest mistake in the history of mankind, worse even than importing a few million African savages to pick our cotton then setting them free and turning them loose on the world a few hundred years later.
Death. Yes. Yes.
>Feminism working in the middle east
