Methods of Contraception and Education for the Public
Population control is important. As we have learnt from the earlier sections, an increased population means more mouths to feed and a greater demand for development. By educating the population on population control, deforestation can be controlled better.
Religious and cultural beliefs are limiting factors in population control. Governments should lead in educating its population about the importance of birth control.
The government can also educate its people on contraceptive devices to prevent a population explosion. |
