Abstract:

The population of any nation decides both its direction and condition. The population has a huge role in the progress of the nation. The economic and social status of the citizens is reflected in the policy and rules of the nation. It's very accurate that national leadership determines national growth. There was a time when the population was considered detrimental to the country's economic progress. Many countries like China, Japan etc., had made such strict rules regarding population that their population had stopped somewhere. In our country India too, many measures were taken regarding population control. But today, when the economic development of developed countries is being assessed, somewhere, their anti-population policy is proving to be a hindrance to their economic development. Therefore, the same countries that were strict about population growth are taking various measures to increase the population. Today it has been proved that it is not the population but its unbalanced operation that hinders the nation's economic development. The population is a boon for the country's growth; its proper use and compliance in the right direction are necessary. Every country can climb the stairs of development with limited resources only based on its population. This study of mine is an attempt at how we can turn the population in the right direction so that it can make the country advanced in every aspect without hindering the economic progress of the country.
