    World Population

    Despite sustained domestic and international efforts to improve economic and demographic prospects, Bangladesh remains a developing nation, in part due to its large population.[1] Its per capita income in 2006 was US$2300, compared to the world average of $10,200. Recent (2005–2007) estimates of Bangladesh's population range from 142 to 159 million, making it the 8th most populous nation in the world. With a land area of 143,998 square kilometers (55,600 square miles, ranked 94th), the population density is remarkable. A striking comparison is offered by the fact that Russia's population is only slightly smaller. Bangladesh boasts the highest population density in the world, excluding a handful of microstates. Bangladesh's population growth was among the highest in the world in the 1960s and 1970s, when the country grew from 50 to 90 million people, but with the promotion of birth control in the 1980s, the growth rate slowed. The total fertility rate is now 3.1 children per woman, compared with 6.2 three decades ago. The population is relatively young, with the 0–25 age group comprising 60%, while 3% are 65 or older.[2]Bangladesh remains among the poorest nations in the world. Many people are landless and forced to live on and cultivate flood-prone land. Nearly half of the population lives on less than 1 US$ per day.[3]…

Taken collectively, these decisions and non-decisions of Government constitute the ‘whole’ that we call…

    to this, the average per-capita income of developed countries range around or exceed US$ 26,000 per year. While it is unthinkable to raise the income of a Bangladeshi to a level comparable to those of people in developed nations, one should make continued efforts towards attaining a minimum level of life sustenance that could be termed as economic solvency. Bangladesh covers an area of about 56,000 square miles most part of which is agricultural land. Although it has attained…

    As I was travelling on a rickshaw on the 40th victory day of Bangladesh I looked at and admired the architecture and magnificence of the houses on the right of the new Gulshan bridge lake. I could not but feel proud of my country. I tried to imagine what our founding fathers would say if they could see this edifices and whether they would believe that their fellow countrymen had achieved such high standards of living. However as most darkness lies under the candle; as soon as my eyes went to the left of the lake emotions of sadness and shame ruled supreme in my mind which just moments ago was full of pride.…

    Poverty reduction has been always a strategic consideration for all Sri Lankan governments since independence. As such, there have been many programs addressing the issue of poverty over the years. The poverty reduction framework is based on three strategies: Creating opportunities for the poor to participate in economic growth; strengthening the social protection system; Empowering people to participate fully in the development process. The Janasaviya and the Samurdhi (prosperity) program can be identified as two of the major income transfer programs conducted by the government of Sri Lanka. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of the Samurdhi program to accelerate the rural growth and empower the rural poor in Sri Lanka. The finding shows that the Samurdhi program will empower the rural poor and accelerate rural growth in the country through the achievement of its objectives, creating employment opportunities and alleviating poverty if implemented in the proper manner. In contrary, it is also argued that the Samurdhi program by it self solely may not be sufficient to bring about rapid rural growth and poverty reduction through the trickle down effect. This analysis is undertaken based on data and information from secondary sources. The paper initially focuses on the theme of the paper there by the efficiency of the Samurdhi program to…
