What is Over-Population?

Somtochukwu

Over-population is that population which is above the optimum population. It is also known as that population that exceeds the available resources of the country.

It then means that the size of the population is so large that when combined with available resources of a country and given the level of existing technology, it will secure a minimum return per head. In a situation of over-population, the standard of living will fall as the level of the population increases.
