Is Bangladesh sustainable with this population?
let's do some math.
Bangladesh population is 163,831,408
The country has a population density of 1,115.62 people per square kilometre,(2,889.45/square mile), which ranks 10th in the world. The surface area in Bangladesh is currently at 147,570 km² (or 56,977 square miles).
Bangladesh is expected to reach a population of 170 million by 2020, and 186 million by 2030. the current UN projections have Bangladesh's population growing until 2053 when it will hold an estimated 202.7 million people. Dhaka is 3rd most densely populated city in the world.more than one million refugees from Myanmar staying in Bangladesh as well. On the rise of NRC and CAB in India, people fear that Muslim in neighbouring states of India will influx to Bangladesh as well, today or tomorrow.so the question is Is Bangladesh sustainable with this population. The answer is yes if there is proper planning for the next 50 years from now. the government should study the matter seriously, make a detailed plan and programme to counter possible complications and adverse effects which will be created by the vast population. every district and metropolis should have their own plan and programme for health, infrastructure, transport, food security, education system etc for the next 50 yrs. Also, strong diplomatic measures should take to prevent influx of people from India. otherwise, Bangladesh will fail to meet the challenges of the 4th industrial revolution.
