Over Population Problem in Bangladesh

Overpopulation is a major problem in Bangladesh due to the country's limited land area and high population density. The population grows by 2 million people each year, straining resources like food, water, healthcare, and education. Causes include the country's high birth rate from the 1970s-1990s combined with lack of family planning and education. Effects include increased poverty, refugee crises, worsening public health, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. To address overpopulation, Bangladesh must improve education, restart strong family planning programs, empower women, reduce poverty, and potentially implement policies like China's one-child policy.
