Overpopulation Dilemma: Is Regulating Family Size the Key to Economic Growth?

one of the biggest problems most underdeveloped countries are facing is overpopulation. It's like the root of most problems faced in the country.

there's like some countries where birth rate is low and population is way too less compared to only few countries in Asia continent like china, India and Pakistan alone is carrying almost half of world population.

Countries especially underdeveloped one with overpopulation should just simply regulate x amount of kids a family can have to control birth rate.

Like China have this policy to control it's birth rate

The time when china population was grown too much, they have to bring this policy that was to have one child in a family in 2015.

Like a family can only have one child, late they changed that to "two child's in one family" and after COVID in 2021 they changed it to "3 childs in one family".

After all these years with child birth rate control their population dropped and had record low birth rate.

It makes sense to have as many child's as you want when the country is developed and don't have that much population as well as "if family have enough resources to take responsibility of those child's" it makes sense to have no limitations.

But when country is economically weak, Families are financially weak

Like our country economy is one of the worse one and there's no sign of recovery or growth, mostly families are financially weak and majority of people are poor.

One thing that's constant in our country is "marriages" this is like one booming business that will end up more profitable than last year because we've much population and young ones are in lines waiting to get marry.

The consequences of no family planning

One reason most families are poor and end up being more poorer is because they don't do any kind of family planning.

After marriage, mostly educated family have like this mindset "we want two child" but here it's kinda rare to see someone with a family plan.

Also most people just get marry when their financial conditions are already weak, they get loan and marry which they have to pay off eventually but than they've to manage kid expenses but in loans imagine how bad it can get.

How many child in a family is an ideal one?

It should depend on factors like financial conditions, bloodline of family like some people are financially strong enough to have more than three child's while some can't take responsibility of one single child.

A state limiting people to have child depending on their financial status would be controversial but I believe that's the only way.

It'd make sense to have one or two kids in the lower class, two, three in the middle class and upper class compared to their resources can afford to have more. So be it like that, nothing unfair in this but it's just better for the child coming to this world.

I've seen kids on streets thrown by parents to go beg and it's like they're using children to make living. I don't think it should be even allowed to marry if you can't afford one time meal, but than again it's something controversial, everyone have their own point of view and opinions.

Wrapping Up...

I believe many of problems we're facing in our country can be controlled easily if there's control in birth rate and make it necessary for families to do planning.

It's just some undeveloped nations where we have this problem while developing one's have low birth rate which is another problem for them, we can't have balance in this world? Feel free to share what do you think about it in the comments.
