Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Low Age at Marriage:

High Illiteracy:

Religious Attitude towards Family Planning:

Other Causes:

Some of the other causes responsible for the increase in population are: joint family system and lack of responsibility of young couples in these families to bring up their children, lack of recreational facilities, and lack of information or wrong information about the adverse effects of vasec­tomy, tubectomy and the loop.

Many poor parents produce children not because they are ignorant but because they need them. This is evident from the fact that there are some 35 million child workers in our country. If families stop those chil­dren from working, their family funds will be ruined.

Producing more children by the poor people illustrates the paradox of population-poverty interrelationship. Poverty is both the cause and ef­fect of the population growth. Having produced many children for sons to combat one’s family’s growing needs, the parents are forced to keep them out of school to supplement their household income. In turn, unlet­tered and ignorant children will inherit their father’s lot and like him, opt to have as many sons as are needed to work for sustenance. Ironically, a huge family size is the poor man’s only way to combat poverty caused by the population boom.
