A large population needs more food. But we do not have enough land for farming. Many people also need houses. So towns and villages become crowded.

## Jobs become difficult to find.

Many young people look for work. But there are not enough jobs for all. As a result, many people remain poor. Some people go to towns to find work, and towns become more crowded.

## Education and health suffer.

Schools and hospitals become crowded because of too many people. Many students cannot get proper care in class. Many patients also do not get quick treatment.

Population Problem in Bangladesh-3

Population is one of the main elements of a country. It is also an asset of country. But if a country cannot afford her people the basic need of life, it becomes a problem. Bangladesh is a small country having an area of 1,47,570 square kilometres. But about 16 million people live in this small country. So, Bangladesh is called an over populated country and this huge population has become a great problem for us.

The population of our country is increasing rapidly. But there are many causes behind this high growth rate of population. First, with the advancement of medical science death rate has gone down. But the birth rate is constant. As a result, population is growing quickly. Then, early marriage and polygamy are two important causes of high population growth. Again, illiteracy and superstitions are also responsible for further growth of population. However, over population causes a lot of problems in every sphere of our life.

Over population is very harmful for our economy. About half of the people of our country live below the poverty line because of over population. They have problems of food, cloth, shelter, health care, education etc. There is a severe unemployment problem in our country. Unemployed youths are involved in many anti-social activities. Moreover, over population is a cause of environment pollution.  People are cutting down trees and doing a lot of harms to our environment. They are pollution air and water too.  Our standard of living is falling down day by day. But the cost of living is increasing rapidly. Thus, over population is the main cause of our suffering and it stands on the way of our development.

As population problem is a threat to our existence, we must take steps to control the over-growth of population. First, the high birth rate of population must be checked through family planning. More family planning centres should be set up with sufficient number of health workers. Each family must not have more than two children. Secondly, the priority should be given to the education of the poor people. All illiterate people must be taught about the bad effects of a large family. Thirdly, early marriage must be stopped by enacting laws. If anyone breaks the law, he will be severely punished. Fourthly, various incentives should be given to people who have small family. Finally, the Govt. should export manpower to other countries.

Population problem is the number one problem of Bangladesh now. It is the main barrier of our development. To exist as a civilized nation in the world, we have to check population growth at any rate. Otherwise, our existence as a nation will be endangered.
