Density & Distribution of Population in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has a very high population density of over 1,000 people per square kilometer, which ranks 12th in the world. The population is also unevenly distributed, with Dhaka division having the highest density of over 1,750 people per square kilometer. This overpopulation and unequal distribution creates several environmental and social problems for Bangladesh, including unemployment, air and noise pollution, food and housing shortages, traffic jams, and difficulties providing education and healthcare. Proposed solutions include proper utilization of natural resources, industry development in rural areas, and exporting excess labor.

every 25,000 village people on the average. They also
do not get proper and sufficient medicine.

Labor Organization(ILO) the rate of
growth of unemployment in Bangladesh
currently is 3.7 percent.
The number of the unemployed in
Bangladesh now is estimated at 30 million.

are becoming eligible for jobs whereas only about 0.7 million of
them are getting employment.

Bangladesh. Everyone feels it but none seems to think over
this unhappy situation as prevails in Bangladesh.

thousand auto-rickshaws, 16 thousand trucks, 1500 buses
and 22,500 other vehicles are operating in the Dhaka
