I would not claim that population should explode. but a big population not sustainable by a land where foods are grown almost by nature is also no prescription for development if it is an old country, and is not new like the Americas. An overpopulation pushes people out of land and agriculture. These urbanized people learn how to work hard and fast.
With many other inputs combined an old country starts to develop. Bring the BD population down to 70 million, no one has then to work that hard and development stops at that. Nature can sustain that much of population. So, overpopulation is not always a curse, but it should be used properly. A day will come in BD when the urbanized population will themselves go after less population. It is happening in all the developed urbanized countries of the world, today.
You are confused. What you say is applicable in theory, but in reality, that isn't necessarily the case. Bangladesh isn't Japan or something.
The population of Bangladesh is still growing. Many prominent economists and researchers have already stated that over-population is Bangladesh's biggest problem.
And much of that population are unskilled people. I am talking about rickshaw pullers and the like. And seriously, what would a rickshaw puller with skills of pulling a rickshaw would be doing in an industrialized nation? Then there are cultural and language issues.
The big question is, how will he contribute to the greater good of the country? Other than pulling a rickshaw? Because that is all he does his entire life. It is their nature, and unwilling to change for the better.
I am specifically talking about rickshaw pullers and the like because people like them are the majority of the population.
Not being too critical here, but that is the reality on the ground.
The more population increases in Bangladesh, the slimmer the chances are for improvements in HDI. That is how the whole process is evolving right now.
Population was 140 million 2.5 years ago, and now it is 160 million and increasing. Too much, way too much.
The first thing BD government must prioritize is to control the freakin population growth. And of-course, a quality education system for all to access. In this way, the Bangladesh economy becomes more viable for the future.
