Bangladesh is a
relatively small coastal country in south central Asia. To the south,
Bangladesh has an irregular coastline fronting the Bay of Bengal and
shares land borders with India and Myanmar. Its estimated total
population in 2000 was about 128 million, with 68 million in the 15-49
year-old age group.
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world,
with the highest densities occurring in and around the capital city of
Dhaka. It is also a predominantly rural country, with only about
one-quarter of the population living in urban areas. Rural areas are
often so thickly settled that it is difficult to distinguish any
well-defined pattern of individual villages. Bangladesh has a high rate
of population growth, and almost one-half of the population is under 15
years of age. Both birth and death rates are far above world averages.
Bangladesh has a
developing mixed economy that is heavily based upon agriculture. Almost
two-fifths of the GDP originates from agriculture, followed by services,
and transportation and communication. Although the GNP is growing
somewhat more rapidly than the population, the GNP per capita is among
the lowest in the world. Severe overcrowding, an inadequate food supply
and poor sanitary conditions have combined to create extremely poor
health conditions in world. Severe overcrowding, an inadequate food
supply and poor sanitary conditions have combined to create extremely
poor health conditions in Bangladesh.
