I have read any essay making tips and they said that the thesis statement is key to the thesis. So I tried to make one based on a question.

So assume question like this:

**Overpopulation of urban areas has led to numerous problems. Identify one or two serious ones and suggest ways that governments and individuals can tackle these problems.**

And I create a thesis statement based on that question:

**In this essay, I will arguing that overpopulation may cause prevalent famine and increasing numbers of unemployment.**

Is this thesis statement correct? I feel that I should include my solution in the thesis statement, but it will make the statement become too long. What should I do?
