Birth Control By The Government Not Economy Remedy.

Every country at this time of the economy recession is facing one challenge or the other, and the global recession is what many did not see coming. Although before this time there were lots of other hindrances affecting each country ranging from natural disaster, corruption, political embarrassment hunger and the worst challenge being when a county has to face over population and don’t know what to do.

When birth rate keeps increasing in a country without the economy increase rate matching with the number of persons per capital, the country definitely will suffer from over population as time passes because its natural for humans to want to give birth to the children they believed will take over their family names especially as African believes

I see birth being controlled by the government in a country as one with advantages and disadvantages. Controlling birth rate by the government in a country is something I don’t see being achievable due to how the disadvantages out ways the advantages. Families in a country has their own plans as regards to number of children they want to have despite if the government involves incentives. In this case there are families who on their own may decide to just have two (2) children while others might decide on five (5) children. How will the government control these two set of families?

And considering too that some families or couples who has been married for years has no child of their own and are waiting on the Lord. These set of people will not even want to per take in the birth control because they are emotionally going through some trials. Having children is something that is natural and no one will want the government to interfere in the affairs of the children they want to bring to the world 🌎.

Another issue on why this move will not work as regards to birth control by the government through incentives to families is that husband and wife does not decide the gender of their baby, so some who expect to have a male child may end up giving birth 🤰 to a female child which will make them want to have another baby to see if it will be male child 👧. This is a very big obstacle when it comes to what gender a family wants to have at any time.

Although science 🧫 has proved that couples can decide on the gender of their babies but it all stills has to do with how rich one is to go through the medical set ups that will enable you achieve the process and result. And if reverse is the case that families keeps giving birth to only male or female children 👧 while the government controls birth rate, the issue on how to reduce the higher gender becomes a problem because it will definitely be difficult to equalize the two genders

My view point on population is that a country with good governance will not suffer from growing population if things are properly managed and situated. The major problem we are facing all through the world 🌎 is that the economy is not growing with the rate which the population is growing. The government and those in power are practically the ones who has made the economy not to grow as the population is growing because they are catering away what belongs to the country, keeping them for themselves and their unborn generation.

First and foremost, the government are not creating jobs for the younger generation, who comes out from the universities and are filled with great potentials to give something to the government, instead they leave those who are corrupt and who keeps embezzling what belongs to the country. How then will the economy increase? And also many middle aged men who are supposed to be up and doing in businesses have been made redundant due to the bad economic resulting to many of them not giving anything back to the economy.

However, what matters here is not to control the birth rate nor rcontrolling the population of a country, but the government and those who called themselves leaders to do the things that will bring solutions because people are the ones that makes up a nation which helps a country to have verities of individuals to look up to.

I see Korea going into under population very soon because of how birth rate has decreased so much in the country. This is however due to how the youth called the younger generation are not even getting married nor giving birth. And how many are show biz careers, trying to make fame. The gape between the old, the middle aged and the younger ones is where the problem lies. This development is becoming a big worry to the Korean government.
