Check population boom

Bangladesh is a small and poor country. There are thousands of problems here. But it is a matter of regret that we do not find out the main problem in Bangladesh. Actually, population boom is the main problem that the country is facing. We will not be able to change our country if we do not check our population growth.

Policy makers should think and plan on this issue without crying hoarse for development.

Perhaps we Bangladeshis are not familiar with the term optimum. Very often we see a two seater rickshaw pulling four passengers. Like wise a sixty seater bus carries more than 100 passengers

This is outrageous, no civilized country in the world shall do this.

Bangladesh has an area of 56 thousand sm. Given the size of the country we have a surplus poplulation of about 100 million.

The situation is already frustrating, I wonder what the policy makers should be able to do at this critical juncture. I am afraid Malthusian theory is inevitable.
