As I'm researching major problems that Egypt faces, I keep seeing a recurring topic of overpopulation. Personally to me I feel that overpopulation would be one of that biggest challenges that Egypt faces. With that problem it would lead to the other problems that they face as far as economical and environmental. Studies show that the population had grown over six times in the past century and tripled since that 1950's.
Then there is the amount of kids that are left with no homes and put on the streets. Kids have to fend and find food for themselves. So most of them will not even eat. But If the kids have a family to live with they have a sense of responsibility where that have to work. The families rely on the income from every single people in the family. So if there is more kids then there is more money for the family.
There may be a lot of people but that doesn't necessarily a bad thing. Studies show that health benefits have improved also. Young people are surviving illnesses and the adults live a longer life.
Even through health benefits improve there still is the problem of the hygiene and space of living problem. There are multiple people of living in the same house or same roof being all cramped. The hygiene isn't the best so people can get sick. And then there is the water supply and it dirty and it's not healthy to drink. So even though health benefits improve drinking dirty water will not help.
Since education is expensive the kids are required to get to job they are neglected of a proper education.This will hurt the child when they grow up. They will lose their individuality and their own way of thought. Along with their free will.
How do you feel about overpopulation?
What are your concerns and feeling towards the children? With the lack of eduction.
