Population boom
Bangladesh is a densely populated country of 55598 square miles. It has a population of over 120 million. Every year more than 2 million people are being added to our population. The problem is now out of control. The country cannot afford to provide its people with the basic necessities of life. The most important thing is that the area of Bangladesh is too small to support her vast population. As a result, many problems like food shortage, lack of health care facilities, education problem, unemployment, shelter problem etc have gripped the country.
The government of Bangladesh is trying to control its population. To contain this problem each family must not have more than 2 children. If the entire population is educated, there would develop a sense of awareness among them. In addition, we have to stop early marriage.
Population problem can be solved if the government and the people are determined to control birth and grow more food at the same time.
