do you think over population leads to poverty??

Over population leads to poverty.Cos people wouldn't have sufficient food,shelter their basic needs get effected.Wealth is not equally distributed,80/20 rule I don't believe that much on this rule but according to this rule 20 percent people have 80 percent of wealth and remaining 80 have 20 percent of wealth.

Well somehow it does lead to poverty. But if only the government is good enough in providing job for the people then maybe it could be minimized. In the Philippines, the problem is not actually over population but corruption. And there is also unequal distribution of wealth. It is here where the richest are and the poorest as well.

People's wealth is personal and life is unfair. The rich live comfortably in lovely large apartments in the city while the poor live in shanty towns on the edge of the city in Rio, Brazil. I met some Brazilians in Australia and they were rich as well as greedy. In China perhaps the richest people are the government and they treat their problem of a very high population in a harsh way. If a couple are rich Americans they might easily afford to have and care for 6 children, a poor couple in Guatemala with that number of children might struggle with poverty. Communism in Eastern Europe set out to equally distribute wealth amongst the people but this still didn't work. Education is the best thing that can help a person get a well paid job.

That's life's reality and its sad. And I think poverty will never ever disappear. But I'm wishing too that sometimes these two worlds meet so that everybody could be happy. But it ain't gonna happen. Just ain't gonna happen because that's the nature of life.

YES over population leads to povety (and disease - they go hand in hand). You will never get rid of this unless you get rid of capitalism. Become a communist if you want to be equal. ( I am not a communist.)
