solution
We will briefly discuss these problems.
i. over population

2. Overpopulation is not simply a function of the number or density to the individuals
but rather the number of individuals compared to the resources (i.e. food
production ) they need to survive. In other words, it is the ratio of population
divided by resources. If a given environment has a population of ten, but there is
food and drinking water enough for only nine, then that environment is
overpopulated while if the population is 100 individuals but there are food and
water enough for 900, it is not overpopulation.
Solution
To solve the problem of overpopulation, the measures they are mentioned below
can be accepted:
Formulating population policy: Realistic population policy should be made on the
basis of various reaches arch related to population control and family planning
Family planning: it is possible to control the population of this country without
family planning and planned family is very much important in this regard.
Expansion of education: Education is an important tool for controlling over
population growth. Particularly female education can play an important role
regarding population problem.
Early marriage: early marriage must be controlled though law and minimum
marriage age for boys and girls should be 20 and 25 years respectively. action
should be taken if anyone breaks the law.
Poverty
Poverty as a social problem is a deeply embedded wound that permeates every
dimension of culture and society. It includes sustained low levels of income for
members of a community .it includes lack of access to services like education,
markets, health care, lack of decision-making ability, traditional agricultural
system, lack of industrialization, unproductive education system, over population,
less production, unemployment, natural disaster, lack of employment for woman,

Dowry System
A dowry is a gift of money or valuables given by the dries family that of the groom
at the time of their marriage. In societies where payment of dowry is common,
unmarried women are seen to attract stigma and tarnish their family reputation, so
it is in the bride’s family’s interest to marry off their daughter as soon as she is
eligible.
