Some consequences of China being overpopulated lead to in 1979 the 1 child policy. This policy forces all families in China to only have 1 child because they had to decrease their population. In Australia though we have a good amount of people so we can as many people in our families as we want. Also having lots of people in an area like china leads to degradation of resources and land. Australia on the other hand has good resources and land space because we don't have as many people as China or any other overpopulated area. Overpopulation is one of the most pressing environmental issues as overpopulation slightly increase the chances of global warming, environmental pollution and plays a large part in habitat loss.
