Population problem in Bangladesh

Population problem in Bangladesh Paragraph – Bangladesh is a small country but its population is not small. About 150 million people live in this small country with a total land area of, l,47,570 square kilometers. About 1000 people live per square kilometre. This is a very high density of population. The main reasons behind the excessive increase in the population are illiteracy, tropical climate, early marriage, polygamy and want of recreational facilities. Overpopulation has a negative impact on the development and economy of the country. It causes a food shortage, a communication problem, health problem, shelter problem, medical problem, unemployment and poverty. For solving this problem illiteracy must be removed from our society. Moreover, strong measures will have to be taken against early marriage and polygamy. Furthermore, people will have to be motivated to adopt family planning measures and recreational facilities should be created for them. However, the government of Bangladesh has given much stress on the population control by identifying it as one of the main problems of the country. So, we should help the government in this respect.
