This document discusses overpopulation in Egypt. It defines overpopulation as exceeding environmental resource limits to meet individual needs. Egypt's 2021 population is estimated at 102.33 million people, representing 1.31% of the world's population. Causes of overpopulation include increased birth rates, decreased mortality rates, and reduced resources. Advantages include increased labor and military might, while disadvantages are rising unemployment, water shortages, and depletion of natural resources. Proposed solutions involve raising awareness through education campaigns, family planning, and developing new cities outside Cairo.

regarding shelter,

for 2021 is estimated
at 102.33 million
people, or 1.31% of
the world's total
population.

6. CAUSES OF
OVER
POPULATIO
N
AN INCREASED BIRTH RATE will
result in population growth if such growth
exceeds the resources within a particular
geographic area.
DECREASED MORTALITY RATES if
the increased lifespan of a species results
in limiting the available resources
A REDUCTION IN AVAILABLE
RESOURCES can result in overpopulation
if the amount of available resources cannot
sustain the population within that region.
Some examples include desert
environments or times of drought which
make crops and other sources of food
scarce.

7.  INCREASED HUMAN
RESOURCES
• more people means more labor force,
it can product more things.
 INCREASED MILITARY
MIGHT
• If a country can control its large
population, it can have a significant
military advantage over smaller
countries.
 CHEAPER AND MORE
READILY AVAILABLE
PRODUCTS
• Having more people who are willing
to work will mean there will be more
goods and services available to

8.  RISE IN UNEMPLOYMENT
• as there are fewer jobs to support a
large number of people.
 Water Shortage
• Roughly 1% of the world’s water is
fresh and accessible. Overpopulation is
a major issue that creates immense
pressure on the world’s freshwater
supplies.
 DEPLETION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES
• The Earth can only produce a limited
amount of water and food, which is
falling short of the current needs.

10. Solutions
• RAISE AWARENESS
• This could be done through
awareness campaigns on
television, radio, or even
posters and Education.
• FAMILY PLANNING
Couples must decide on the
number of children they
want.

11. •Have "Sister Cities
build outside of Cairo to
utilize the empty land.
As a matter of fact,
Egyptians occupy only
6% of the land, while
94% of Egypt needs to
be populated.
