Population Problems and Control Measures In the Third World: The Case of Bangladesh.
An examination of the population problems that Bangladesh experiences not only reveals that they are deeply rooted, but also that a number of important obstacles stand in the way of achieving a meaningful and lasting solution. More importantly, some of these obstacles relate to fundamental characteristics of the country itself which are slow to change, while others relate to Bangladesh's lowly status within the international heirarchy or the country's geographic characteristics. In total, this leads one to suggest that the country is just simply not capable of controlling its population problem on its own, and, perhaps more importantly, that a substantial amount of assistance from First World countries is required if change is to be expected within this particular Third World country. 10 pgs. 18 f/c. 11b.
