Population problem and Law

Population is one of the main problems for the devlopment of our country.
If government makes any law in this regard irrespective of caste and community,
do you think that it will be helpful?

the government should wake up to this. What about special incentives, tax benefits and all to those with only 1-2 children???

when the maid has 6 kids its a population problem, when a socialite like Shobha & Dilip De has six, its their private affair But instead of laws, let it tackle the health issues. The sterlization camps where more than 100s are operated when the government norm is not more than 20 or the bicycle pumps used for putting air into the women's abdomen before laparoscopic operations or the lack of sterlization in all surgical equipments, would be a start.. http://www.indiatogether.org/2004/jun/hlt-poplctrl.htm Every 5 minutes a woman dies from giving birth in our country. And Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have better rates than us! Thats our healthcare today. Population is people, people arent the problem, its the attitudes that are the problem.. The rich with even a car pollute the environment, and when people dont have water to wash themselves, there is alwas plenty of water in pools and to wash the cars. The problems of the earth, like global warming wasnt created by the huge population, but by the rich who think they can do whatever they want as long as they can pay for it.. Some common people have more than one kid 1.If its a girl, they think i would need a boy to take care.Introduce Social Security system. 2.Almost One in EVERY THREE babies in the world, who die before they are four weeks old is in India. For a parent whoose earlier child has died, it makes sense to have more kids and hope atleast some of them survive. 3.Lack of awareness of contraceptive, Sex education means taking care of your body. If sex education is tough word, then change it to body education and educate..thats tough when 50% of Indians dont go to even primary school 4,Women DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO SEX, OR INSIST ON CONTRACEPTION. Marital Rape is stil not a crime in our country (though we agreed to make it a crime more than a decade back). Make Marital Rape a crime 5.The stupidity of the 1 child incentives lies in the fact that men can have many children and not let the world know about it, unlike women and women have to pay the penalty for not abandoning their child or killing hte child before its birth.. 6.Its medically less complicated for the men to have their tubes tied than for the women to get their uterus removed. But how many men would do think of that..Perhaps the question should have been, Is Vasectomy Cool..

Yes, such a law would be helpful. we should do what China did...i.e. all govt benefits to be withdrawn for the third child onwards. But then what would happen if the ppl are very poor and still have more than 2 kids ? How will these ppl cope for say medical benefits & the food from PDS/ration etc ?

its neither poor ppl nor uneducated ones who go for more than 2 children...its mostly unwanted pregnancies and illegal children who r forced into this world... now a days..which couple wants more than 2....leave some exceptions. Even the poor ppl realises the responsibilities and the expenditure involves and thinks for lesser children. so i think...everyone shud be taught about sex and conception.

population is indeed the main culprit of all problems of our nation but the method suggested to counter it that is by legislation, is not foolproof and not long lasting check it, strict rules have only encouraged rule-breaking rather, education about ill effects of excess children if seeped well into the minds of indians, esp rural indians will help long term

population control should be even across the board .no compromises ...pretty much like the Chinese are doing .. will solve so many problems ..hope Government gives it number one priority ...definitely laws should be made irrespective of community and social status and enforced too ..

contraceptive awareness...simple..you know those nice posters of people in their underwear and pictures of B grade movies everywhere..remove that..put a nice poster of a condom and its uses... but hey..as russel peters said, india and china are the most populated countries in the world..and we will be responsible for eradicating racism and color ..no white people...no black people..everyone will be beige...coz face it..india..second largest population in the world..sooner or later..we gonna hump ya...
