With a delicate problem of overpopulation all over the world, people are facing innumerable tribulations in current life. Overpopulation is giving rise to poverty, illiteracy, backwardness and superstitious thinking. Considering these major problems, it is quite unavoidable to seriously think about exterminating this problem so that people can lead a happy and satisfied life. Therefore, certain radical measures must be taken strictly with a view to obtaining a results-oriented solution to this very problem.

As we discuss this topic, we will have to examine the basic reasons behind the rise of this global problem. To a greater extent, the political configuration is responsible, since its policies are not very precisely designed to solve this problem and other problems directly or indirectly related to it, which can really generate a great transformation in the lives of people belonging to the poorer nations. . The competent authorities, especially in developing countries, do not have a clear intention and objective to concentrate their resources and human energies to curb this problem. In fact, the people who are supposed to execute the strategies designed for this purpose do not seem to be so focused and inclined to find the right solutions that can be highly effective in abolishing the overpopulation problem from its deepest roots.

All over the world, developed nations are already doing their best to help poorer nations eliminate their genuine basic problems, but without success. People in general lack sufficient funds to ensure better education for their children and to make use of available resources on high-level research that can be advantageous in boosting the economies of poor states. As a result, poor states always lag behind in realizing the goals of improving the living standards of their compatriots. Despite the best efforts made by the UN agencies, the underdeveloped nations are still far behind simply because of the problem of overpopulation. Quite unnecessarily and illogically, they have to spend a large part of their resources/funds on providing their citizens with food, clothing and other basic necessities for their existence.

Emphasis must be placed on providing better education that can be accessible to all, regardless of caste, creed and geographical borders, in order to control overpopulation from its very beginning. If children are deprived of getting a better education, it will surely result in negative growth of human resource development and inability to use available know-how. In addition, family planning can be a powerful tool to solve this problem. The ideal size of a family consists of only one child per couple, which is the need of the moment if we seriously and genuinely want to stay away from the huge problem called overpopulation.
