Population control

Population control is when people try to make sure that there aren't too many people living in a certain area. In many countries, governments put limits on how many children people can have so that there isn't too much overcrowding. Another way to control population is by making sure that people get access to birth control, or things like condoms or other methods to prevent them from having too many babies. This helps to keep the population from growing too quickly and make sure that everyone has enough food and space to live.
