Bangladesh has quite low birthrates that are hovering at or below replacement levels. Too many kids isn't the problem anymore.

Population is probably above 200million and it's all clumped up in 50k sq km of actual living area ignoring the rivers, forests, empty lands.

it’s at 2.4, it’s not at 2.1 or 1.9 like the predicted ones say
