2. • Population growth is steadily increasing in a
geometric proportion.
• The population can be controlled either by
decreasing the number of births or increasing
the number of deaths.
• Developing medical sciences and human law
do not permit the increased death-rate.
• Only way to control the growth of population
is reduced the number of births.
• Best way to reduce birth is preventing fusion
of sperms and eggs(fertilization) that refers
the prevention of pregnancies or birth control.
4. • To maintain an economic standard

• To avoid lack of accommodation
• For better care and education of children.
• To avoid lack of food
