how can we control the rapid growth of population these days?

Question

even though the government has introduced the family planning and all people r not following it.

Answer 1

Measures that increase the survival of children to adulthood has been shown to reduce the birth rates in all countries. The more opportunities that women have outside the home lower the brith rates. In western societies and Japan these factors have reduced the birthrate below replacement levels.

Answer 2

Did you just wake up from a 30-year coma? The population is NOT rapidly growing anymore (actually growing only about 1% a year). The UN expects world population to max out at mid-century and then commence its first-ever decline.

Overpopulation is no longer considered a problem by anyone familiar with the issue. That's so 1970s. Nearly all the developed world (except the US), and China too, have fertility rates so low that they are destined to begin experiencing shrinking populations in the near future. Japan ALREADY has a shrinking population, as do several European countries. Other developing nations also all showing rapidly falling fertility rates.

Answer 3

Hi- Actually population growth rates in the Western world have declined (some countries have been experiencing negative growth rates- like Italy). U.S. population growth has risen, but not because of birth rates, it is because of population survival rates and increased life expectancy (advances in medical technology and healthier lifestyles). A lot of governments have actually been encouraging people to have more children to ameliorate potential social and economic problems that may come from have a much older population base.

I think part of your perception has to due with children from unwed households, which is actually at an all-time high (something like 4 out of 10 new births are from single-parent households). A good percentage of these are younger parents, but teenage birth rates have actually declined slightly over the last ten years as well.

From my experience, the best way to combat rising teenage birth rates is better, real, sex education throughout adolescence and having a better public discourse about sex and sexuality in general. We Americans still tend to cling heavily to our Puritanical roots when it comes to "the talk."

Answer 4

Well there are several things that would help in the long run. I know they may sound strange but here are a few suggestions.

Support homosexuality. One most gays don't have children. Also allow them to adopt to give homes to children.

Next, stop giving tax breaks for dependents. If a person knows they can't deduct thier children. That they gat no help there it makes them think a bit more. You could even tax them if they have more than say two children. Other countries do this. Use that money to help pay for programs to help the popluation growth.

Last, those prison offenders that have been imprisoned 3 or more times get fixed (male or female). They would not be allowed to have any further children.

Answer 5

Better birth control would be my best suggestion. If you think about it, girls are getting pregnant at younger ages now ( 14 -19 yrs old) and I doubt they know anything about the family planning thing, nor will they be following it.

Answer 6

If every family control themselves by planning their family size to suit their budget, means not borrowing a single cent, instead save for the future of the offspring..

Answer 7

Apart from educating the public on some practical measures to control birthrate, there ought to be some strong steps to eradicate poverty all around the world!

Answer 8

actually peoples attitude towards having children should change...people still have the attitude of children as God's gift...so the attitude should change.
If the Govt can give concessions to families have one or no child, then this can also be useful.

Answer 9

I think it is our hedonistic culture that is to blame. The attitude that sex is mainly for pleasure has created a very permissive society...
