Thanks to women's empowerment, aggressive family planning model, accessible and free of cost education for girls, eradication of mullahs against birth control and a no questions asked dispensary system for condoms and other contraceptives Bangladesh has controlled its population growth.
All of this has only been possible because the moderate brand of Islam practiced in Bangladesh, not bordering other Islamic countries has its perks.
Now we need to ward of Saudi Arabia and their 'investments' which empower the wrong type of mullahs.
Our population will hit it's peak in 2050s at 190 million and then steeply decline to 150 million in 2100s before stabilising at 150 million range, very positive outlook.
A very small but important victory in the fight against poverty in Bangladesh.
Irrespective of which party has been/is in charge, the aim to stem population growth has remained unwavering, very refreshing to see in Bangladesh, which is a country where successive governments have a tradition of undoing all the measures taken by the previous government.
Joy Bangla!
