Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little 
space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of 
resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain 
number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food 
and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple 
 Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 931 
farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers 
of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food. 
In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe, 
overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities 
of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and 
agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people 
in metropolitan areas. 
A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural 
productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with 1,147 persons 
per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low-productivity manual farming, which 
contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, 
such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries practice 
mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of 
living. 
At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of less 
than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming; these 
countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a 
consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and 
high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations. 
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many 
poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies 
commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide 
little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small 
have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population 
growth.
