 OVERPOPULATION

The growing rate of population is a cause of several problems. The developing countries are
struggling hard to reach up to the level of the developed countries and the rapid growth in the
population in these countries is one of the main hindrances in this direction. The problem of
unemployment is on all time high only because of the growing population. There are numerous people
seeking jobs but the vacancies are limited. Unemployment causes poverty which is another problem. It
also creates dissatisfaction among the people and gives rise to crime. Those who do not get their desired
jobs often adopt unsolicited means to earn money.

It is also to be understood that the resources are limited but due to the increasing number of
people the demand is growing higher. Forests are being cut and huge office and residential buildings are
being made in their place. Why? It is all being done to accommodate the growing population. Natural
resources are being depleted at a rapid pace because of greater number of people using them. This is
causing an imbalance in the environment. More and more natural resources are being used to meet the
demands of the people. This does not only cause degradation of the environment but also increases the
cost of living. Controlling the population has thus become the need of the hour. It is necessary for
establishing balance and harmony in the environment. It will also ensure better standard of living for
people.

Possible Steps to Control Human Population. People from the poor and uneducated classes are
mostly the ones who do not plan family. They treat women as a child bearing machine and have children
one after the other. It is essential to educate people. The government must take steps to make
education necessary for all. It is essential for the government to sensitize people about the importance
of family planning. This should be done repeatedly by means of radio, television, internet and other
forms of communication.

The government should exempt the taxes or provide other monetary benefits to the families
who have single child. Since people today are money driven, this will be an effective step towards
controlling population. The governments of quite a few countries have already implemented such
policies.

Just as the government can provide monetary benefits to those who do proper family planning,
it should also put a fine on the ones who do not. A penalty should be levied on the families with more
than two children. The government must not only implement the aforementioned points but also keep a
stark check on the same and ensure that these are followed.

People must understand the importance of controlling the population. It would not only give them a
clean and green environment and a better standard of living but will also help in the overall
development of their country. The government must also take this matter seriously and put proper rules
and policies in place to ensure population control. Both the public and the government require working
together to control this problem.
