Abstract

Population increase is widely observable in developing countries with special reference to Asia. To get rid of that, population planning is widely recommended and practiced in such countries. If not so, the situation will worsen, and consequently more unemployment will appear. Therefore, population planning will have micro and macro effects on all classes of people in a society. Under the present demographic circumstance’s population planning is differently adopted and practiced with all the means possible. The only way possible to control the likely dangers of population increase besides population planning, is educating population in any society irrespective of religion, caste or creed. Many countries have accepted abortion with certain conditions in order to have practiced family planning. While majority of countries are facing high population growth in developing world, minority or about 20% of countries are facing 1% increase, or even less annually. Such countries have to retaliate their population shortage through migrants from developing countries.
