ReplyDeleteThe high population growth is the problem that most of the developing country is faced ,This was caused by the social acceptance of the people in the countries ,their education ,female unemployements ,and their religious factor.
ReplyDeleteThe government can overcome the high population growth by giving the people in the countries about educations .Government could teach the people about the contraception method to control the birth rate and changing their side point of view about having more child ,it’s not about the quantity but the qualities .The government should promote a better education system in the countries by giving a subsidies on the education.
The government can also make a rules & regulation in the countries just like china , people in china can only have one child ( one child policy ) for about 300 years .The poor people will be forced to have less child in china since if they want to have more than one child they need to pay extra charges to the government . The government can also use a similar method to control the high population growth by giving more taxes for people that have more child in the countries, by doing this people will be influenced to have less child & their social acceptance of having more child will start to change since they realized having more child will give them more burden since they have to pay for their children living cost & tax.
Investment in the reproductive health, such as the investment for family planning program in the countries ,so people can have less child by having a family planning program . And protect the adolescent women from having more pregnancy and Hiv virus that can caused the death rate to increased.The government can also give some benefit to the people in the countries that have less child, such as free transportation system ,and subsidized goods & services it will encourage people to have less child and increase their standard of living.
The government can also encourage the female employement , so they can also have more opportunities on the economics role in the countries.The women will tend to have less child since they spend most of time working in the office and other and they have less time to manage their child or families. The women will tend to spend most of them working rather than taking care of their children ,it will influenced them to have less child.
By applying this strategies the government can reduce the population number or make it sustainable, even they will be a rise in the population there will be no significant changes in the countries since people are more educated and the government have do a lot of efforts such as rules & regulation , policy for high population growth. The gdp and inflation rate will also be stable based on the population number.

There are many factors that can affect population growth in a developing country such as marriage age, death rate and birth rate, standard of living and literacy rate, at some point government should take action to reduce population growth in a developing country if the population growth cause problems, such as lack of resources, lack of land or property, aging dependency and unemployment.
ReplyDeleteHigh population growth can cause lack of resources such as food, water and other natural resources, this is because the resources is the same but number of population is increasing drasticly, this can cause famine, crime and even death.It can also cause lack of land or property because the land of the country is not getting bigger but the population is increasing, this can cause expensive land.
Government can do many things to reduce population growth in developing country, such as giving one child policy, giving less income tax if the person don’t have a kid, teaching contraception and female employment.
One child policy is an effective way to reduce population growth because couple cant have more than one children, if they have more than one children, they wont get any child support and pay extra money to the government, for a poor people this is a big problem because they have to pay government extra money.Giving less income tax to a person that don’t have any kid can be a good solution because many people want to get a low tax income.Teaching contraception is also useful because in developing country the literacy rate is low and many people don’t know about contracepcy.
In conclusion population growth is a big problem in developing country because it cause many disadvantages, so government have to take action in order to reduce opulation growth in a country.

Population is the amount of all organisms in this world this includes humans as well. In countries over population or too many people are regarded as undesirable or unwanted condition in the country because overpopulation can cause allot of disadvantages around the world. Population is defined as a particular group or type of people living in a place. Global human population, therefore, can be defined as the total number of living humans on this earth, which has reached the amount of 7 billion people. Population growth refers to the increase in the global human population. Having a high population not always a disadvantage because having a high population means they have a high supply of work force that will increase the productivity of the country because the wages of each worker are decrease makes the company have lower cost of production so they hire more worker so they can increase the productivity if the company.
ReplyDeleteHaving a low population will good when there are less persons the stock for the natural resources that available can last more longer than high population lower inflation on the natural resources such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, etc. but by having a low population makes lower supply of human worker that means the wages or every persons will be rise because the price of services will increase because the operation cost if the company have Increase because they had to pay more wages for the worker. Having a high population happens with many factor such as low living standard, low contraception, religion don’t allow there people to use contraception, lack of education they still think having many chilled is really benefit because in old days people are working at agricultures and they need a lot of work force do done that so rather than paying other people to done the job they use there own chilled to help his father at farm or field this mind set still done by many people in LEDC most of this people are poor and they cant effort their to pay there son school fee so the number of low educated people are increase increasing in poverty. Poverty is one of the main Economic Development of a country if poverty I high economic growth of the country will be low, the standard of living will be low. Government try to decrease the population in many ways such as giving a regulation for having maximum number of chilled for they have to pay more tax to the government this have been done by china government in other to improve the economy of the country by decrease the number of population. The government can overcome the high population growth by giving the people in the countries about educations. Government could teach the people about the contraception method to control the birth rate and changing their side point of view about having more children, it’s not about the quantity but the qualities .The government should promote a better education system in the countries by giving subsidies on the education. Government can decrease the population by many kinds such as china giving a rule and regulations hope the population can be lower the rules such as one chilled policy so the one family can only have one chilled if they have more than one the parent should pay more tax to the government increase the government income so it the government can support the citizen by giving them free program for controlling birth rate to the citizen
The conclusion is having a high population may decrease the standard of living of the country but it can increase the productivity that will increase the economic growth the price of the goods and services will goes down as the cost of production decrease the selling price of the goods will decrease.

High population growth rate is an issue for developing countries to grow, the more the population, the more the government will need to provide goods and services for thr citizens. Developing countries has a low development in techonology and the country's resources are limited compared to the developed countries. The reason for the high population growth is that there are high birth rates compared to death rates, high net migartion, high literacy rates, etc.
Some countries will experience numurous factors of problems such as; overpopulation, rising governments expenditure, high rate of poverty, high pension bills, and other burdens for the countries. To overcome these problems, the governments can have a strict rule policy for The limitation of family group ( example ; one child per family), or the governments may provide higher education in methods of using contraceptions to educate the citizens and limit the number of birth rates.
The governments could also have a policy that benefits the people who doesnt have any children; the citizens could have lower tax rates, or would recieve goods or other benefits from the governments in exchange to lowering the birth rates. Some methods of decreasing the rate of the birth rate is very hard to persue, but in order to decrease the population growth, the governments may create a rule that the benefits provided by the governments would only be present for the people from that particular country and doesnt provide the benefits for immigrants, this method would lower the rate of net migration to the country.
A very high population growth rate may be a big problem for the country to grow or develop in their economy because there will be a higher dependency ration, higher government expenditure, higher socil security and over population, the country will need to focus on these particulat factors instead or concentration in developing the economy of th country in self.
High population growth, which is the increase in the number of people in the area, may be known as a drag in developing countries as it creates a surplus of labour (also causing lower GDP per capita), diminishing natural resources of a country, increased government expenditure and lower living standards. In order to solve this issue, the government will have to take actions strategically and firmly to limit the rate of population growth.
ReplyDeleteWhen the population gets tricky to handle, which is when the country does not have enough natural resources to feed the country and is indicated by the rise in prices that may cause high inflation for necessities such as food, housing estates, etc., or when the country needs to supply subsidies or cut taxes to make goods and services more affordable, this is the time to take action and start controlling the birth rates of the country. At this point, the government can take action by providing better contraception methods, educating students (especially female ones) in the importance of planning their lives instead of becoming ‘baby-machines’, such as what is happening now in Africa, promoting female employment, such as creating gender laws where females and males should not be discriminated, and providing subsidised or free education are ways to decrease population growth rate. All these factors can help the countries struggling with high population growth rates in terms of reducing them.
But tackling this problem can be quite challenging as developing countries face the need to remodel the country, in a sense to make them more developed. This can be by improving infrastructure, healthcare, employment rates, balance of payments, etc. but there is an opportunity cost for this, as the money is spent on decreasing population growth rates. The public expenditure spent can also result into the lack of competitiveness towards other developing countries as the government may not be able to fund new and innovative ideas in the country or employ more people in public firms, which may slow down the economic growth rate of the country. Also, the long term effect of the decrease of the population rate is that it can create an ageing population, experienced in Japan and in parts of Europe.
But developing countries should not always regard high population growth rate as a drag. As it is quoted,
“The more people on earth, the greater the chance that one of them has an idea of how to improve alternative energies. Plus, the more people on earth, the larger are the markets for new innovations.” -Prof. Casey Mulligan, University of Chicago in the New York Times
The perception of governments and the local people believing that it slows the country down economically is the reason for the aggressive nature of the government to tackle the problem. The country may also see it as a benefit as it boosts aggregate demand, increases workforce, becoming innovative, and rise in competition for instance.
In conclusion, the government must have the right mix of strategies implemented, as well as the right mindset that sees both negative and positive sides of high population growth in the long run, and uses the ride tools to reduce the growth rates, which is when there is high price inflation of food, oil, etc. triggered by the lack of natural resources, yet still keep the expenditure in the budget made, or it can create many financial problems in the country.

High population rate in the developing countries is a biggest drag on their development; government should take strong actions to control the rapid population rise in the country because it could give bad impacts to the country itself. There are many factors that can affect population growth in a developing country such as marriage age, death rate and birth rate, standard of living and literacy rate, at some point government should take action to reduce population growth in a developing country if the population growth cause problems, such as lack of resources, lack of land or property, aging dependency and unemployment.
ReplyDeleteA rapid population growth can cause scarcity on resources because it is overused. In developing countries, they focused more on raw material than finished goods, which can lessen more their resources. By the time they had finished, there wont be any resources for Government income. Like in Dubai, 90% of their income came from oil but then oil will run out or finish, they have no more resources for their income anymore. Rapid population growth can cause unemployment. In a country, there will be a limit for employment; if there are too much of population the workforce will increase. As it increases, then the wage will fall rapidly since there is too much population.This can cause a decrease in the economic growth of the country, especially when more people in the country mean harder management of the country too. The government has to be able to adjust and manage the country properly in a way that it could actually get a good impact from the population growth itself rather than a bad impact.
Government can reduce population growth in developing country by giving one child policy, teaching of contraception, female employment, giving and more tax if the people have any child. The best way would be giving more tax to those that have any children or one child policy because if not so, the population will keep on rising and there will be much more disadvantage than before.
To conclude, government to apply one child policy or increases tax to prevent the increase of population to make sure that the country is not going to be overpopulated that will harm the country itself.
