Causes:
The main cause of Population increase in Nepal is Illiteracy. Only 65.9% of people are Literate in Nepal. Many Nepalese are not aware of a disadvantage of having more children. They have no knowledge about Contraceptive devices. IN Nepal there is also lack of awareness.
Another main cause is that Nepal is an agricultural country and most of the farmers and poor class family think that having more children can help in their work and they can be sources for their income. In Nepal, Due to the lack of health and services, most of the poor family fears that if they give birth to only one child. he/she may have died at any time. As a result, they give more birth to many children.
Problems:
There are Numbers of Problems which arise due to overpopulation. One of the major problems is Pollution. As population increase needs of people also increase. For eg Factories and Industries have to produce more goods. Needs for the vehicles increases. Needs for everything increase. As a result, pollution also increases.
other major problems of population growth are Unemployment and Underemployment, Natural disaster, Crimes, Poverty, low-quality life, Environmental degradation etc.
Solution Measures:
To solve the Problems of Population growth. First of all, we should focus on Causes: why it occurs? So after gathering information that how it cause then we only we can know how these problems can be solved.
At first, Government should provide good health facilities and services. Especially to infant child by which A couple can be sure that their one and only child would have good health. Then, we should aware people about the disadvantage of Having plural children and advantage of having singular children. A government should provide free and quality education in ruler areas where they can know about the contraceptive devices. We should give information and aware the people about the causes of overpopulation. Many Nepalese, especially ruler areas people think that having many children will be a source of income. We should aware them and tell them about the negative impact of having many children.
