The population is one of the biggest problems in the world today. China has the largest population of about 1.37 billion. It has become a serious problem. A large population causes many difficulties, not only for every family, but also for the whole nation. For example, there is less living space. It's difficult for many people to find jobs. We are short of energy and water. Most cities are more crowded than before, and the traffic is much heavier.
I think we should do something to control the population.
