Population Problem of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world though it is a small country of only 1, 47, 570 square kilometers. At present it has a population over 150 million. About 1000 people live per square kilometer here. Every year more than two million people are being added to our population. The problem has now moved out of control and it has now come to the stage of explosion.

The present growth rate of population in our country is very alarming. It is still 21.6 per thousand. It is obviously a very high growth rate in the world. There are crowds everywhere in buses, trains, bazaars, schools and colleges. This over population has already become a burden for the country. Our economy fails for this huge population.

To restrict the rapid growth of population some measures should be taken. Firstly, people should be made aware through education. Secondly, early marriage and polygamy should be banned. Thirdly, the
