The Problem of Over-Population

INTRODUCTION :

One of the major social problems of Pakistan is overpopulation, it gives rise to other problems such as illiteracy, unemployment and poverty. Actually overpopulation causes much more damage other than giving rise to such problems. It gives rise to many more problems, which affect our country, both socially and economically. I want to illustrate the above mentioned problems for the time being. My aim is to explain illiteracy, unemployment and poverty under the debate of overpopulation.

The major economic problems are arisen due to corruption. The corruption in our country has damaged our system severely. This wave of corruption starts from the lowest level of rank to the top most level of ranks.

First I would like to discuss the some of the social problems of modern day Pakistan.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS :

OVERPOPULATION:

The population of Pakistan has grown up from 3 percent per annum since 1983-1985, the trend of population shows declining trend from 1984 to onwards. Now the total population of Pakistan is 103.4 million as against 152.53 million. Pakistan is the 7th most populous country after crossing Bangladesh and Russia in the world during the last 50 years.

SOLUTION :

As I have told the reader earlier, we must provide education and consciousness to the people of our country so that we may stop our own problems and find solutions for them. The government should make amends in their own mistakes and should try to better the already given facilities. When each and every one of us would understand their moral values, become patriotic and start being true to the country and their fellow men, we will automatically be solving our problems.
