introduction population growth and sustainable development has significant
relationship. The population event and its consequences led the researches of
social fields, and environmentalists to react in various ways. The population
restrictionist, stationarist and optimulist, have approached the question
differently. The present article’ emphasis is on the well proportioned population
approach. The idea is that a well proportioned population renders a balance
among population, resources and the processes of development, which not only
affords for the material and spiritual needs of the members of society. but also
guarantees the welfare and happiness of the future generations through optimum
exploitation of environment and stable development process.Litlerarure review
In some regions with relative or absolute overpopulation, the natural resources
have to be used up for consumer expenditures of the increasing population
instead of basic and infrastructural investment.
In the recent five decades, Iran’s population with an average growth rate of
2.45% has been multiplied 3.7 times. Population growth diverts the areas of
investment from job creation, production and economic growth and finally the
economic development, to consumer expenditures. The expenses of educational,
hygienic, and other services, and the most important - the payment of 90 billion
dollars subsidies- is an example of this. Moreover, unemployment, poverty,
educational and hygienic problems, the destruction and pollution of environment,
and decrease in water resources per person are the consequences of population
growth in Iran.conclusion Therefore, it is proposed to regard the policy of
controlling the population growth to 0.5% increase at the top of the agenda.
Fortunately, the comments of the Shiite and the Sunni religious authorities on the
legitimacy of birth control prove that this policy is not contradictory to the
religious beliefs, as the quality of population is preferred to its quantity.
