The
causes of high rate of population growth in Bangladesh as 1. Illiteracy- most
of the people of our country are ignorant. They do not know about the problem
of over population in Bangladesh. So they do not like the measures to control
the birth rate through family planning. 2. Superstitions- Some rural and religious superstition
obstruct our people in family planning or birth control. 3. Early marriage- most
of the boys and girls of our country get marriage before they become matured. This
early marriage is a main causes of high rate of population growth. Lack of female
education- Women constitute one half of the population of our country. But they
are not educated. If our population grows at a high rate, our country will have
to face a great problem. This will affect the economic development and progress
of the country. The country would not be able to give proper food, clothes,
residence, educational facilities, medical facilities and other basic necessaries
of life to this increasing people.
Unemployment
is a great social evil. It makes a man idle. There is a proverb, that an idle
brain is the workshop of devil. An idle person always indulges in mischief. So
unemployment leads people to various unsocial activities which hamper the normal
course of social life. Besides, lack of opportunities for unemployment makes
people frustrated to take education. This problem is also responsible for
brain-drain. In order to solve the problem we all should come ahead patriotic
Zeal in a body. The following measures may prove effective to root out the
problem. The first necessary thing for the solution of the problem is the
industrialization of the country. It means that a large number of mills,
factories and firms should be set up throughout the country so that the
unemployed can work there. Vocational training should be introduced and
students would have some training in it. Steps should be made to increase our
national income to the maximum and distribute it equitable. The government should
be honest and sincere in their plans and policies. Above all, the growth of
population should be kept within reasonable limit.
To
check the rapid growth of population the following measures should be taken as
early as possible. The high birth rate of population has to be checked through
the family planning. It is the main effective solution of the problem. We have
