I think perhaps you're conflating world population with the Chinese population. Overpopulation can occur in small areas without the world being too overpopulated as a whole -- most of them in SE Asia. If theres lots of people and limited resources, the math simply won't hold up. It affects issues like the environment and human health.
- eru 11y agoSingapore is doing fine at high population density.
- s_dev 11y agoSingapore is very developed. Overpopulation is more a problem for densely populated developing places - Bangladesh, Victorian London, South American shanty towns et cetera.
- eru 11y agoYes. Though they only developed in the last 50 years.
- sjwright 11y agoSingapore doesn't exist in a vacuum. An enormous amount of foreign low population density agricultural land is sustaining their lifestyles.
