20. Advantages
of Liberia population pattern
More siblings to play with.
Parents have a light pension burden.
More labors in the future.
21. Disadvantages
of Liberia population pattern
Food shortage
Education, employment problems
Low living standard
Lack of social labor which is not
conducive to the development of
industries and the economic
development of the state;
Insufficient defence forces;
And the aging of the population,
increase the burden of social
welfare, more detrimental to the
country's financial construction
22. Solutions
to overpopulation in Liberia
Sex Education
Sex education is the first line of defense on the topic of overpopulation. The
more kids know about safe sex, the less likely they are to have unplanned
pregnancies at a young age.
Increasing Access to Contraception
A lot of unplanned pregnancies occur across the world because women and men
don’t have access to contraception. Birth control is extremely difficult to get in
certain parts of the world, and when combined with poor sex education the
result is often an unplanned pregnancy.
23. Conclusion
The traditional population growth model of Liberia has brought
sufficient labor force to the country, promoted the development
of all aspects of the society, and at the same time, increased the
burden on the social infrastructure and people's living standards
This growth model, like China's in the 1970s and 1980s, will
develop into a modern growth model in the future, and will also
face the problem of an aging population that China is facing
now.Until then, make Liberia richer and richer.
