Question 13

reason : religion

Answer 13

Bangladesh’s population are 90.4% muslims, which is a religion that does not allow the use of contraception, leading to a high birth rate of 17.3 per 1000, and a death rate of 5.3 per 1000 (due to bad healthcare).

Question 14

reason : resources

Answer 14

Bangladesh does not have enough resources to support the amount of people it has, with the GDP of only 1700 us dollars per person. Over 40% of the population are also under-employed (or part time employed), making barely enough money to sustain a living.

Question 15

reason : culture

Answer 15

Bangladesh is in Asia, and Asian countries are known for preferring male heirs over females, which means that if a family does not get a male baby the first time, they will keep trying for more.

Question 16

reason : landscape

Answer 16

• Bangladesh also has a lot of uninhabitable space that floods often due to monsoons, so they have to live in crowded spaces.
• Bangladesh floods a lot and is 5 meters above sea level, so there is low available space for living

reason : urban planning

poor urban planning due to rapid growth of population and urban sprawl : not enough living spaces that are comfortable
