The population problem is also a social problem and is related to illiteracy, superstitions, orthodoxy, pitiable condition of women, etc.

The following social measures must be undertaken: 

  • Education: Improvement in education changes the attitude of people towards family, marriage, and the number of children. Mostly educated people delay their marriage and prefer to have small families. 
  • Improvement in the conditions of women: Discrimination against women in social and economic life should be removed by the government.
  • Raising the age of marriage: The marriage age of boys and girls should be raised and offenders should be punished by law.
