Overview

This book is my first effort in highlighting some of the general issues in population and health. This book is divided into two sections-section 1 is about topics in population while section 2 is about topics in health. I believe that the issues in the population are still basic and that with careful planning and dedication, problems in health and population can be managed and resolved. The first and foremost effort for any country to start with is better governance, work ethics, and better education on health behaviors such as exercising and healthy eating. One can choose not to initiate smoking, drinking, and gambling. Communal riots do not take place unless we want it. Corruption and tax evasion are checked. Better income distribution is possible through income ceilings. Jobs are also created through retirement policies to overcome household poverty. Jobs, unemployment allowances, and pensions improve living standards with price controls. Education is the right of every child. Child labor and human trafficking are violations of human rights. Governments are working on zero tolerance for domestic violence. Organized crimes are checked through better social governance, acts of education, and employment. Businesses enjoy subsidy while universities, hospitals, and research use the funding to execute programs in education, research, and healthcare. Women's education and employment brings women respect and autonomy, which are contributing factors in population control. I hope you enjoy reading the text. -Baljit
