" POPULATION PROBLEM IN BANGLADESH "
Introduction : We have a number of problems. The population problem is one of them. Some say, it is the number one problem.
Really the rate at which our population is increasing is alarming. Now it is a burning question in Bangladesh.
Causes of the problem : Many are the causes of this increase. Due to the invention of many life saving medicines the death rate has gone down appreciably and the birth-rate has gone up. Another cause is that most of our people are illiterate. They do not believe in family planning. The present growth rate in Bangladesh is 1.48. It is really a high growth rate.
Effects of this problem : The production of food cannot keep pace with the growth of population. So there is acute scarcity of food in the country. The economic resources of our country are quite insufficient to meet the demand of such a large population. So our standard of living is much lower in comparison to the other nations of the world. It is not possible to supply the additional things for the additional people.
How to solve the problem : There are three ways to solve the problem. Firstly, the people should be given the idea of family planning. They should be taught that a small family is a happy family. Secondly, measures should be taken to grow more food and create more employment opportunities. Lastly, the system of early marriage should be stopped. To sum up the famous economist Mr. Can on opined, "Every child born into the world comes not only with a mouth and a pair of hands to enhance the wealth of the nation." It means the additional people have power to earn in many ways.
Conclusion : Our government has been trying to solve the population problem. We should co-operate with the government.
