Do you think birth rates in underdeveloped and overpopulated countries be regulated?

Question

More than half of the population in most underdeveloped countries, where growth rates are far increasing, live below what is considered poor. Do you think regulating birth rates would reduce poverty in these countries? 

Answer 1

yes, I think so, if you look at countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan they all are underdeveloped countries and having high rate of birth so these countries are unable to provide basic things to the all citizen, therefore most of the people of these country suffer from disease and hunger. So I think birth rate should be diminish.

I agree with you on how high birth rates affect resource allocation. What do you think will be the challenge in advocating for a policy towards regulating birth rates?

I think government should make a robust policy to control birth rate, government can start awareness camp in all areas of the country regarding  the worst impact having more than two child. They can make a law that if any family take more than two child they will lose the opportunity to get government jobs, the family will not be given any free facilities to that family. I think there are many steps these county can take to reduce population.

Answer 2

This is right,  in the developing  countries ,  reproduction  rate is extremely this and this drags down the economic status.  Controlling  birth rates through  use of the birth control  techniques can help control over population. But in as much as the country is trying  to do so,  people  are becoming  too ignorant as give lame excuses why they can't use birth control methods.

May I know the currently available birth control methods in your country? Here in our country, the challenge really is to convince people that this would eventually benefit them. 

Answer 3

The answer is yes, because in the developing countries a lot of people are ignorant, and children are seen as inheritance and as people who will take care of the parent at old age. Many parents in developing countries give birth, just to have more children to send on errand or have as bread winner.  Children are blessings no doubt but it comes with the responsibility of giving them the right environment, care and opportunities.   A child who is born into a poor family faces a lot of challenges when it comes to education, welfare and opportunities, and children who can't break out of the poverty cycle, will continue in the same cycle bringing up children in the same cycle. This should be a major cause of concern for Government of developing countries, enlightenment and education will help in solving the problem but the willingness of the people to embrace this step is another challenge. 

Answer 4

In fact, some Asian countries are having this 'one-child policy.' In the past, China had imposed this rule because of the overpouplation issue. Now, they have to abolish it because the elder group is too high at present. China's local government had a new rule and that is 'two-child policy.'

Answer 5

I think so, if the birth rate is regulated and laws are made to control the way children are being produce, it will not just reduce the rate of poverty but also give people more quality standard of living.

Answer 6

There is no easy answer to this question. Some people may argue that regulating birth rates would lead to a decrease in the number of children being born, which would lead to a lower birth rate, or that regulating birth rates would lead to more children being born with health conditions that could require government-provided child care, which would lead to increased fertility rates and a lower birth rate. Others may argue that regulating birth rates would be a waste of money, as they would be unable to provide a quality child care that their citizens would trust.

Answer 7

I believe that regulation of birth rates would not reduce poverty. In fact, it may often lead to the opposite by reducing the opportunities for the poor to have access to quality children.
