A study about the prediction of population growth and demographic transition in Bangladesh

Abstract

AbstractBangladesh is the smallest nation in South Asia, with the eighth-largest and tenth-largest population density globally. The main goal of this article is to find the population growth and demographic transition (DT) in Bangladesh. The time series data used in this paper were gathered from population surveys, national censuses, and UN Population division, population projections and estimates. There are numerous variations in the population's size and age distribution due to Bangladesh's continuing demographic transition, which creates possibilities for the economy and society and difficulties for policy. It must be successfully controlled to develop this population into stronger and more stable economic and social development. Bangladesh's population and policymakers observe increasing population growth concerns, as the country's economy and policies heavily depend on both the population's size and growth rate. Bangladesh's changing demographics are creating new economic opportunities, and the findings presented in this paper could be useful to planners and policymakers to enhance Bangladesh's population policy. At the end of the pioneering study, we presented graphically what the population of Bangladesh could be in 2000- 2100 and the impact it would have on Bangladesh.
