The effect of this lower production could mean a big change in the social development of the country. Chinese people are known for being hard workers in large amounts, producing basic products exported to almost every country in the world. It is important to find a way to compensate the lack of international demand for products, for such a down slope in Chinese growth would mean a paramount change for the country. In spite of this, until what extent can the country keep on growing without having social consequences? after all, the Chinese population is growing just as fast as their production. Lowering production would mean not enough work for all the workers who need jobs, making unemployment rate increase.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/andreaduarte\/files\/2012\/10\/overpopulation_beach1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68\" title=\"overpopulation_beach\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/andreaduarte\/files\/2012\/10\/overpopulation_beach1-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/andreaduarte\/files\/2012\/10\/overpopulation_beach1-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/andreaduarte\/files\/2012\/10\/overpopulation_beach1.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seems like, any way one approaches the subject it always ends in a problem caused by overpopulation in China.
