Overpopulation and its Effects in Mexico

It's a fact that the population in Mexico is constantly growing, and this causes many social, economic, and pollution problems. By researching I found that there are three main effects of overpopulation in our country. I would like you to read this post so you can understand that overpopulation is an issue that really affects any society with this problem, and also it is affecting our society.

The first of overpopulation in Mexico is unemployment. First of all, there are not enough sources of jobs or employments in Mexico, so only the most prepared people get a job. This is a great social and economic problem because people who don't have a job are constantly frustrated because they don’t have enough money for supporting their families.

The second effect of overpopulation is the low quality of public services. Natural resources, like water or food, are not enough for so many people, so the poor people of the country suffer from thirst and hunger. Also, the level of education is quite low because there are a lot of children or young people who must study, and the number of teachers or schools in our country is not enough. This situation also happens with health; hospitals are not capable of giving attention to all the people who need it, so there are a lot of diseases.

The third effect is about the exaggerated levels of pollution in Mexico. Because of the constant use cars, a lot of pollution is produced, which causes a high level of air pollution. As a secondary effect, the number of traffic jams has increased. Also, every day people generate a lot of trash, and this pollutes both water and ground. We can see that overpopulation is a problem that not only affects the society, it also affects the environment.

All this effects generate a kind of cycle, for example, overpopulation causes poverty; poverty causes other problems such as crime, hunger, lack of education and more immigration. Another example could be, pollution causes diseases, and these diseases can't be attended because of the insufficient hospitals. We as a society must find a way to organize all the people who lives in our country; we have to stop spending so many resources and stop the pollution. I also think that politicians could make an effort and generate more jobs, so everybody could work and try to satisfy their needs and the ones of their families.
