Overpopulation has become an issue of great concern and
controversy all over the world. The increase in the number of people has lead to
many problems such as unemployment, low quality of public services and high levels
of pollution. Limiting the number of children per family is considered by some to
be a way of stabilizing population growth.The number of children a family can
have should be limited by law.
First of
all, the number of children a family can have should be limited to avoid overpopulation.
Increasing the number of people means increasing the use of power supplies. In other
words, people have many needs such as food, safety, transport and they use many resources to meet their needs.
This leads to a reduction of sources of energy . Access to sources of energy is a veryimportant issue that can be linked to inter country warfare.
Moreover, overpopulation can cause environmental pollution such as air and water
pollution. More factories are opened to meet the people’s needs. These factories
create air and water pollution with their wastes.
Another issue is about parents’interest. As thenumber
of children in the family increases, the care and attention devoted to each child
decreases. This means parents can devote more time to fewer children. Children receive their
first and fundamental education from their parents, so the interest of the parents
in their children is very important. Some kids grow up in the streets. It is a
good thing that children play with their peers in the streets but if parents do
not pay attention to their children, they can get close to kids who have bad habits.
It has been said that children are economic power for their
family. For example, for a farming family, children are the workers who will work
in the field. For some families also, children are a source of income because they
work to support their family financially. However,this argument is not actually
logical.As thenumber of children increases, the per capita income decreases. It
is easier to meet the needs of fewer children. As the number of children in the
family increases, this becomes more difficult. Furthermore, as the number of
children increases, the sharing of inheritance becomes more difficult. This sharing
can even cause conflict between siblings.
In conclusion, laws should restrict the number of
children a family can have. Although this seems to be undemocratic, it is important for the society’s future. The
important thing is not to raise a lot of
children but to raise moral and educated children.
