The population is an asset to a country when she can turn it into useful manpower and provide them with all basic necessities. But it becomes a problem for a country when it fails to provide them with employment opportunities and the basic needs of life, Bangladesh is an over-populated country. The density of the population in our country is about 1251.5 per square kilometer. The present growth rate of the population in Bangladesh is 1.2. Now, over-population is a great problem for our country. The population explosion/boom is destroying all the efforts for our development. Our population is increasing but the land is fixed. Other facilities for a living are not increasing. So, the problems of shelter, food, clothing, medical treatment, housing, education, entertainment, etc. are increasing. It also causes various disturbances in society. Because of it, everything becomes difficult. So, various socio-economic and political problems are created for the population explosion in Bangladesh. We must come forward to control our population. We should adopt family planning measures effectively. Each family must live in a planned way. No family should have more than two children. Early marriage and polygamy must be banned. Most of the people in our country are farmers. They are not educated. They want to have more sons than daughters. They think that their sons will help them. This wrong idea should be removed to control population, Our people living in rural areas are a religious fanatic. To control the population, fanaticism must be removed as early as possible. Therefore, the education of the masses is a must. The government alone cannot solve this problem. Educated people of society must play an important role in this respect. If we can control our population explosion, we can develop our country day by day.
