Well, Population control is always a decent way of moving towards right path when it comes to the development of a nation as a whole .
The question that may arise in the minds that why theres need of population control, the simple answer is that this ensure quality of well-being and normal participation in workforce and education which not superfluously congest and create a kind of chaos like scinerio.
For the purpose of the very move, the Uttar Pradesh govt has decided to adopt two child policy which is being supported and protested against it. The two child policy directly Barr the third child and parents of the third child from various incentives while those maintain this would get a proper education facilities to the two child in addition to job promotions to the parents.
Not moving much on the policy, is it required in india, especially in UP or not . As the data suggests it's not much needed in UP as the rate of TFR is decreasing in addition to that of population as well. Uttar Pradesh's population is more than that of Russia which is a but eye raising fact but the diminishing rate shows its not reqd in this period of time.
Taking China as a an example that led to the consequences of one child norm are reduction in the fertility rate of the country in addition to the low labour and wide gender gap . Wide gender gap is because the parents of china are either abort their girl child or abandon them for a boy child as the norm confine the parents to have a single child .
So, UP doesn't need it abd it should adopt a policy like bihar wants to adopt be giving greater emphasis on health and education especially for women and girls which directly lead to reduction in child birth. By the way there are some major reasons behind hefty population and they
are -
1) Low age marriage, ie child marriage that leads to early and frequent child birth . So it is require to fix the problem through proper implementation of no child marriage policy because rules ae there but it's implementation aren't.
2) Education on the issue can also lead to control this issue and that is only possible by having full participation of children in this .
3 ) Infant mortality rate is something that encourages parents to have more child as if they loose one then they will have another. This is a major reason behind high child birth rate in bihar so the problem of infant mortality needs a permanent and perfect solution.
Comparing UP and Bihar together, both the states TFR ( Total fertility rate) was 4.2 in 2006 which was quite disturbing but in 2018 we can see a decline in UPs TFR to 2.9 while bihar still around 3.2 . The gap in two states during the 12 years is because UP shows comparatively higer use of condoms with that of Bihar and that needs to be known by the bihar govt that how UP managed to encourage condoms for population control .
The problems and solutions above shows theres no need to have a policy like two child but the decent health, education and no child marriage can show us a path towards the direction of prosperous India.
