 Measures Taken to Control Population in Bangladesh

Population is one of the major problems of Bangladesh. Government has taken many family planning programmes. Non-Government organizations are also trying to increase the awareness of the bad effects of too much population. A joint effort may lead the population from burden to human resource. Some of the measures to control population are :

* Increase the age of marriage of the girls/women.

* Build awareness in the population to keep the family size small for better future.

* Create more jobs for women and encourage education of women.

* Provide social security benefit during old age.

* To apply family planning programmes to limit number of children.

* Make recreational facilities for the citizens of the country.

* Fanaticism, dependency on son, and the linkage of the family.
