World Population Day / We need to transform social norms for gender equality

This World Population Day, the focus is on gender equality, symbolised by the theme of "Unleashing the power of gender equality: Uplifting the voices of women and girls to unlock our world's infinite possibilities."

Drop in life expectancy an ominous sign

It shows the overall quality of people’s lives has deteriorated

The state must take better care of elderly citizens

They need proper healthcare and other facilities to live with dignity

Ageing population: Are we ready to ensure proper care?

The country’s population is still predominantly young, but a sharp increase in the proportion of those over 60 years of age could leave it ill-prepared to provide them with care.

Government must address rising unemployment as a matter of priority

Elderly citizens need sustained care

They’re entitled to specialised healthcare and financial support

Female population of Bangladesh now 8.33cr, male 8.17cr
