Why over population is a disadvantage in our country while an advantage to other

Perhaps the problem is not the population or the work force per se but the reputation of our country and pour workers. They are many people already here in the country that belong to the workforce and there are others who are unemployed because they either lack the opportunity ort too lazy to grab it. We also have quite the population of workers abroad. Many people remark that Filipinos are good workers abroad but there are not so many companies who do eth same evaluation here I the country itself. Also, the political and economical atmosphere of eth country is always a concern for investors. Not always the cheap labor and the good workforce.

I still think overpopulation is more of a disadvantage for us than the other. With a growing rate of illiteracy, and the gov't inability to give quality education to the people, only a few can take advantage of the supposed jobs from foreign investors.

Well if you are comparing India and China you just have to look for their total land mass area to our place. This means that they can still cope with the area of the land with the population they have. The resources like food, and other needs are still able to cope with the population growth. I also do not agree since like China is trying to stop their population to grow because I know they have this law which penalizes a family for having more than 1 child. I do not know if they implement this law but in the past they tried to implement this since they also see rapid growth in population will be counter productive for the economy. In the case of US and many 1st world countries, we can see that they are prosperous because they were able to manage the population in their country. But nowadays it is becoming a disadvantage since the fertility in their country is declining where there is an inverted pyramid population that is haunting their country. It also is happening in Japan and other well to do countries. I think with the industrialization they have citizen starts to think to manage their family on their own and limiting their family to smaller which in turn is getting a big toll on them. It is now showing that in the coming days there are more retirees than working citizen. So in this scenario you can see the bad and good on having a population. It totally depends on how much the government can manage their population. If the country can afford to provide services to their citizen then fine and good but if not better have a good policy in managing the growth in the meantime that resources cannot afford it.
