Over population is an increasing issue, for example Mexico City grew from one million to over 15 million in only 50 years. This is a problem because a higher population has a higher demand for more housing and services. Other issues are traffic jams, poor air quality and increasing health risks. The only solution is to make sure the homelessness rate in Mexico city goes down because of the large amount of people not becoming independent so most of the problems with overpopulation fixes itself. |
The population is increasing rapidly in Mexico City and so is the unemployment rate. If you live in a less fortunate area in Mexico City, service can be far away and if you are unemployed and do not have a vehicle there is a huge problem.
