Population explosion means rapid growth of birth rate without any check. It is a constant threat to our environment and existence. It is the greatest problem is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Her population is increasing day by day. Every year more than two million people are being added to our population. It has become a serious problem for us. In fact, it is the number one problem of our country. This problem is now out of control.
Though Bangladesh is a small country, it has huge population. The land area of Bangladesh is less than her vast population. About 850 people live per square kilometer here. For this reason, Bangladesh in considered as over populated country. The population in our country is increasing in an alarming rate. There are many reasons of increasing population in our country. The main reasons of increasing population are ignorance, superstitions, early marriage and lack of female education. Most of the people of our country are illiterate. They do not know about the problems of overpopulation. Because of being illiterate, they are not aware of family planning. Besides, religious superstitions obstruct our people in taking family planning. Early marriage is also responsible for increasing population.
Overpopulation creates many problems. The area of Bangladesh is small in proportion to her vast population. Overpopulation growth has many negative effects on our life and existence. It hampers our economic progress. It also pollutes our environment. Though population is an asset of a country, it has now become a burden for our country. It creates the problem of food, shelter, health, nutrition, unemployment, treatment, communication etc. Overpopulation obstructs to our national development. The whole nation has been suffering the grievous consequence due to overpopulation. The country will fall in acute poverty and people will lead very unhappy and miserable life in near future if it is not controlled. It should inspire our people to adopt family planning. Our womenfolk should be educated.
However, we must come forward to control this over growth of population. We should take some measures to control it. People should make aware of adopting family planning and people must be aware about the serious consequences of high birth rate.. Early marriage must be stopped. No family should be allowed to have more than two children. Our people must be educated. If they are educated, they will surely try to keep their families planned. Our womenfolk should also be given training on family planning. They must be aware about the negative effect of overpopulation. Mass media like radio, television and newspaper can play a vital role in this regard.
Therefore, this growth rate of population must be checked. Because, no improvement of our country is possible unless this problem is solved. But, the government alone cannot solve this problem. For this, all the people of Bangladesh and the government should join hands to control this population growth at any cost.
