Population problem in our country

Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. About 1000

people live per square kilometer. Every year more than two million people are

being added to our population. The problem has now moved out of control andit has now come to the position of explosion.

The area of Bangladesh is too small to support the vast population. As a result,

it creates problems, such as food-shortage, communication disruption,

educational problem shelter shortage, health hazards, lack of medicine,

environmental pollution and poverty.

The present growth rate of population in our country is 21.6 per thousand. It is

obviously a very high growth rate. Dogmatism, prejudice, early marriage and

superstition are responsible for this high growth rate of population.

The population of Bangladesh is increasing by geometric progression. But the

agricultural production is increasing by arithmetical progression.

So the countrys production fails to feed the increasing people. Not only this,

the job facilities are also unable to cope with this population. Being

unemployed, some people are becoming addicted to drugs and are being

involved in terrorism. So the standard of living, political stability and cultural

values are degrading day by day.

Overpopulation is a hindrance to any kind of development. So necessary and

constructive steps should be taken to reduce the high growth rate if population.

Early marriage should be stooped. Introduction of family planning all over the

country is essential. Newspaper, radio, television and other mass media can play

an important role fir education and enlightening the common people about the

disastrous effect if overpopulation.

Overpopulation is a serious threat to the development of our country. This

situation will be aggravated if the present growth rate of population goes on

unchecked. The people from all walks of life should come forward to-operate

with the government to solve this problem. Otherwise, all hope and joys of the

people of Bangladesh will be nipped in the bud.
