Population is an unbearable burden
for Bangladesh. Bangladesh happens to be the most densely populated country in
the world. In an area as small as 555981 square miles, Bangladesh has a
population of over 130 million. About 1500-1600 people live in one square mile.
Every year more than two million people are being added to our population. The
problem is now out of control. It has reached the position of explosion.
Although the population of a
country is an asset, it becomes a problem when the country cannot afford to
provide its people with the basic necessaries of life.
The area of Bangladesh is too
small to support its vast population. As a result over-population creates a lot
of critical problems involving communication, education, employment, housing,
health, medical treatment, environment etc. All these problems eventually lead
to a general problem named poverty. Hence, it could be safely said that
the poverty of our country is largely an aftermath of its population problem.
We all should come forward to
control it. The government of Bangladesh has already taken a number of steps
regarding the issue. In order to overcome this problem, we may follow the
following rules. Each family must not have more than two children. Then each
family will be planned. Each family should be made aware of the gravity of the
problem.
To check the growth of
population, highest importance should be attached to education of the masses.
If the entire population is educated, a sense of national awareness is sure to
develop among the people.
We can send more of manpower to
foreign countries. It would serve two purposes: first it would lessen the huge
weight of the population; second it would help the country earn more foreign
currency.
Although population is considered
one of the greatest problems of Bangladesh, it cannot be solved by the
government alone. All the people have to be firmly committed to birth control
and grow more food at the same time. No improvement is possible unless this
problem is solved. We, therefore, place significant emphasis upon the solution
to this problem afflicting the whole nation.
