विकल्प

• Focus on reducing investment in healthcare.

• Implement policies to encourage rural-to-urban migration.

• Promote balanced population growth through family planning and education initiatives.

Answer 1

Promote balanced population growth through family planning and education initiatives.

Family planning, healthcare and education (especially of women) help keep birth rates at a stable, moderate level, preventing both very high and very low growth, so the population grows in a controlled, steady way.
