HELLO
How are you all
Every year the birth rate increases in all regions so that there is an increase in economic needs in a region in Indonesia alone, the birth rate in 2024 reached 16,608 births per 1,000 population, according to the data I obtained, just imagine that only in Indonesia, what if we look at global birth data throughout the world, of course in the next few decades the world will be getting narrower
The effects of the increase in population globally are
Quoting from all sources that the increasing human population means the economy in a country will be more difficult and there will be a spike in needs, the difficulty of employment, competition is very tight and will continue to worsen when everything happens, it will be more difficult, there will be many criminal figures ranging from theft, robbery and also murder, poverty and hunger will occur everywhere
In terms of the earth's climate, with a rapid increase in population, the earth will get hotter and will worsen, such as global warming will continue to increase and there will also be pollution everywhere, even though the government has tried to maintain the balance of the earth by replanting forests which has been cleared and also maintains protected forests and prohibits illegal logging but all of that only reduces the impact by about 10 percent
Government efforts to suppress population growth
The government has done various ways to suppress the rapid increase in population, starting from implementing a family planning program (KB) through the BKKBN ministry, the government also appeals not to have many children, just two, the use of contraceptives such as birth control pills, condoms and IUDs is highly recommended to prevent the high birth rate
The government must guarantee the safety and health of each of its citizens to prevent stunting, the fulfillment of nutritional needs must be met regularly, especially for pregnant women, good and balanced nutrition must also be given during the growth period so that there is no malnutrition that can lead to stupidity and disability, the government must also provide a decent level of education by establishing schools that are easily accessible and the government must also provide jobs for those who are great who have graduated, this government task continues to increase if the population increases rapidly
The government also carries out voluntary population transfers to improve welfare and settle in regional development areas or regions (transmigration) this relocation is carried out with the aim of preventing the accumulation of people in an area and creating new villages and also developing an area to become advanced and rapidly developing and can generate new jobs for farmers
Islamic views on global population growth
In our teachings there is a verse in the Koran that says that every living creature will be responsible for its sustenance and Allah will guarantee blessings in its life, so there will be no fear in Muslims about this because we believe that sustenance has been guaranteed, so among us Muslims children are the most beautiful sustenance having many children is a pride, so for us global population growth is not a concern and we do not try not to do it, we do not use birth control / contraceptives instead of avoiding many children, we pray to have many children
Sorry for my delay in sending my participation entry, heavy rain has disrupted the signal in my area, (forgive me for all mistakes)
