Overpopulation involves the Earth as a whole, but it particularly is occurring in developing countries such as China and India. These countries are the two most heavily populated countries in the world, with China having one sixth of the world’s population, and India following close behind with another sixth of the world’s population. These two countries are rapidly reproducing at a rate the Earth cannot keep up with, because both these countries lack the education and the equipment to reduce the earth’s population such as contraceptives and abstinence.
