What are examples of overpopulation issues?

Answer 1

War, decrease of resources, pollution, conflicts, sanitary problems

In Mexico City, for instance, there is a problem with air pollution due to overcrowding.

Increased population leads to traffic congestion. Car rides that take longer to get to their destination contribute to air pollution.

Overpopulation can occasionally lead to wars and other conflicts (as in some parts of Africa).

The overuse of resources (including China) was caused by overpopulation.
