Zero population growth may be achievable in the present context of Bangladesh. Without getting a suitable employment in the country YOUNG male populaation are going abroad. This has caused late marriages and absenteism, which has resulted, upto a certain extent, a lowered expansion of population.
Who knows, BKZ wants to send another 10 million young men to the Arab countries as labours so that they can contribute to her 2030 vision of zero growth. BKZ is certainly a visionery although she failed to foresee an upsurge of electricity demand in the future during her tenure.
Acording to CIA factbook, bangladesh's fertility rate is 2.55, just 1 place above the world average. I think a fertility rate of bangladesh should be around 2.1 and it is easily achieveable within 2030.
But bro, if we are a higher middle income group by 2030, why would we need to send our youth to the arab countries or south east asia as labourers?? IMO BKZ should focus on creating new industries as well as expand our manufacturing and tertiary sectors.
