Attempts to solve population problems in an LEDC Case Study: Bangladesh

Bangladesh is at stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model. What does this mean? High birth rate Falling death rate

Why is there a high birth rate?

Why is there a falling death rate?

What is Bangladesh like? Bangladesh is in South East Asia and about the same size as England and Wales. However its population is more than double (120 million). 90% of Bangladeshis work in agriculture and are very poor. Because Bangladesh lies close to the sea devastating floods hit the country every year.

Is Bangladesh overpopulated?

The population of Bangladesh has grown very rapidly since In 1975 the government adopted a policy of family planning. Write down 4 ways the government tried to slow down this pop growth.

Government policy... Raising the age of marriage (18 f, 21 m) Improving health of mothers and babies Improving women’s education Providing contraception for field workers

Were they successful? Mostly YES! In % practiced family planning In % practiced family planning Average number of children per woman was 6 in 1981 and 4.3 in 1995 There is a definite decrease in the rate of growth since 1990

What were the problems Women cannot leave their homes without permission (called Purdah in Islam) so it is difficult to give advice about family planning Even though age of marriage has been raised, some women consider to be married much earlier. Some girls are married at 13 and have their first baby a year later
