WASHINGTON: According to US Population Reference Bureau here, the Earth today harbors some 7.8 billion human beings and the population is augmenting with the passage of time.
As far as Land of the Pure is concerned Pakistan’s total population is 220.9 million. This is growing with an annual fertility rate of 3.6 children per couple. It has further been noted that pandemics like COVID-19 affects densely populated areas.
It has been calculated that Pakistan’s population doubles in 19.4 years at the 3.6 growth rate. In order to control the exploding population citoyens of this country must realize that the growth rate needs to be brought down to two percent per annum. Interestingly, former East Pakistan’s annual growth rate is 2.3 percent. Similarly, India too brought down its fertility rate to 2.2.
It does not need much grey matter to figure out that a couple should have only two kids to replace them. In this way ultimately the total number of humanity will not increase. Probably it will take a dictatorship like China to make people adhere to one couple one child or not more than two children policy. Otherwise, how long the mother nature bear the rape of its resources by the ever increasing populace?
Due to its regimentation China managed to reduce its fertility rate to 1.5 and therefore it presently harbors 1.424 billion people. Just imagine if it were not for the strict measures taken by the government how much its population would have increased. In the next three decades it will succeed in decreasing its population.
In Pakistan a section of clerics preach that there should be no restriction in reproduction. But many clerics advocate that we should keep our family small. This is logical at micro level too. Again even a person with an IQ of a Chimpanzee can figure out that having fewer children and grooming them like a piece of art or a painting is better than having an army of naked, hungry, ill and illiterate children.
