POPULATION PROBLEM IN BANGLADESH
Bangladesh is beset with many problems. The population problem is the most serious of them all. The total land area of the country is about 1,48,393 square kilometres.
About 1400 million people live in this small area. More than 750 people live per square kilometre. Every year some 22,00,000 people are born. Thus the country is very thickly populated.
The effects of overpopulation are very dangerous. If our population grows at such a high rate, it will add to the problem of food and clothing- of accommodation and employment, of education and training, of health and sanitation and what not. All the development efforts of the government as well as other organizations have been set at naught by this explosion of population.
The aim of life is not just to struggle and survive. There must be solution of this problem. Population survey should be carefully done. Manpower development programmes should be taken up. Efforts should be made for proper utilization of human resources. Family planning measures should be geared up. Early marriage should be discouraged.
Food production should be increased by application of modern methods. More industries of different scales should be set up and skilled labour should be turned out and exported. We must try to improve our living conditions. We must make it feasible to live in a decent way.
It is everybody's duty to understand that control and management of population in our country is an urgent necessity. Our government is quite aware of this problem.
All its functionaries are very up and doing in this regard. It is expected that the liability of our overpopulation will turn into an exportable asset within a short time.
