Roman Overpopulation caused many different problems. Some of these problems are similar to those in the United states today.1. The Romans were not conquering land meaning there was a lack of space for people to live in.2. Slaves were taking all the Roman jobs and the Roman citizens didn't have enough money to pay the taxes.3. There was not enough tax money to support the wealthfare program in Rome. Since Romans were out of jobs many of them relied on the program to keep them alive.

NPG got this solution from working with overpopulated places in the US. They even have fundraisers to help support their ideas. |
