Students take an examination on an open-air playground at a high school in Yichuan, Shaanxi province April 11, 2015. More than 1,700 freshmen students took part in the exam.
China has the highest population in the world, with a shocking number of 1.3 billion people and growing by the minute. The over-population was such a problem that in 1980 they made the "One-Child Policy" which only allowed each family in China one child. This year, the policy ended and in just three months the population has gone up %0.46 since 2015.
The population is projected to increase by 6.8 million by the end of 2016. Overpopulation in a country is the result of the number of people in an area being much higher than the country's available resources.
