Task answer
A portion of the authorities believes they can decide how many children will be there in a family, and they have the right to control the number of children by someone through taxes. A large number of people agree with them due to necessity and the right of a government to have the control of birth. From I perspective, I completely disagree with this thought because of the revenue that can be earned by people, and also huge military sources.
Firstly, people are the most important aspect to enhance economic growth in a country. If the cabinet has the idea to convert a huge number of people into work force, then they can generate more revenue by using their citizens. Besides, people can bring foreign currency to their country as reserve currency to increase average income. For instance, currently Bangladesh is the country which supplies the most amount of cloths to Europe and generating a huge revenue through this, and the main reason is they they convert their huge population into work force.
Similarly, by using people the government could also devastate their power to military forces. Although, it will require a huge budget to train everyone, but at the end it will bring the number and the power to show the world. Additionally, whenever a country has a huge military force then there will be less chance of attack at boarder by any country, as everyone will be afraid by the number of military individuals. For example, South Korea has establish the rule of compulsory two years military training, therefore if they ever face any attack by other country's then they can easily use their people to protect their country.
In conclusion, although the governments will require a huge budget to convert their population into work force, but it would be beneficial in the future if they create work place for their people, and train every citizen for military. So, over population is never an issue if the country can utilize them properly.
