A disadvantage of overpopulation is that there is little opportunity or means for anyone to succeed or make any real progress.

Another way to see it:

Picture for a moment that the world is a box. It contains finite resources, enough for a small population (call it a lifetime supply for a single rat--the rat representing the population). Now a single rat or even two can be quite happy, living largely unstressed lives. Drop a hundred rats into the box though, and the brutal fact is that in a very short time, the box will contain again one to two rats, the smartest perhaps, definitely the strongest and least restrained.

Some disadvantages of population growth include overcrowding, a lack of resources, and pollution. Other disadvantages include wars between tribes or populations and the loss of natural habitat for other species.
