The main focus of any population policy is the welfare of the
country. It aims at a balanced population so that the country will develop the
maximum and each individual of the country lives in a satisfactory
socio-economic environment. The objectives of a population policy can be
understood under four categories.
i. Economic: One
of the main objectives of the population policy is to maximize the per capita
income, per capita housing and food availability; provide employment,
nourishment, education; and improve national production and productivity.
ii. Political: A
population policy aims to provide justice, peace, freedom and equality. Thus, a
democratic system of government is the main factor here.
iii. Ecological and
Environment: This is the most important aim of any population policy. It aims
to bring ecological and environmental balance. Urbanization and
industrialization have to be considered while achieving this objective. People
are very concerned regarding the destruction of nature due to population
growth. Therefore this is taken care of in this objective of the population
policy.
iv. Sociological:
this objective of this population is to obtain a quality population. It tries
to enhance the level of education, cultural and aesthetic aspect, good health
and security services. These aims can be achieved by keeping the population at
an optimum level.
