Answer
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.
