Human overpopulation is among the most pressing environmental issues, silently aggravating the forces behind global warming, environmental pollution, habitat loss, the sixth mass extinction, intensive farming practices and the consumption of finite natural resources, such as fresh water, arable land and fossil fuels, at speeds faster than their rate of regeneration. However, ecological issues are just the beginning.

Population replacement level is 2.1. This means that the population is decreasing in all of the blue areas. The population in the green areas is stable to rising slowly. World-wide, the fertility rate is 2.5 and the trend is downward, towards a reduction in the fertility rate.
The real problems arise when the fertility rate drops below the replacement rate for too long. All advanced societies on the planet subsidize the elderly with those who are of working age. As an example, you work, you pay social security. Someone who is retired gets the money you put into social security. The theory is that you'll eventually get money from the people who are working when you retire. The more people that are working per retired person, the better. When social security was originally set up, there were 41.9 workers to each retiree. In 2010, that ratio was down to 2.9 workers per retiree, and still dropping. If our population stops growing or starts to shrink for too long, social security, our tax system, healthcare, basically our entire economy, will collapse.

I also would like to add that our rate of technological advancement is well positioned to deal with population growth. We are getting more and more efficient with space utilization, feeding world population, energy sources, and water supply.

Local overpopulation, however, often is a problem, and has been for many centuries. The US is not terribly affected by this problem as of now, as it mostly has very capable megacity mayors that take measures to decentralize the population distribution. But less developed countries with less capable management, such as Mexico, Russia, China or India, face this problem regularly when it comes to major cities, as decentralization is not an accepted concept in the governing there.
