Tanzania's population

In every country where there are problems in population whether it is increasing or decreasing that means a lot of other problems will come. When the population increase in country such as Tanzania it is an emergency situation. Overall Africa known as one of the most poor regions in the world. Even if they have availability at the resources in their countries but they may not be able to get the whole benefit and worth of it when they have the population problem. Also Tanzania , Kenya and Uganda ones of the fastest growing countries and they are expected to experience sharp population increasing in the coming years. In Tanzania there is a big problem which is child mortality and it is considered the fourth goal of eight goals that the government tries to solve it. In Tanzania a city called Rukwa the mortality rate was there 175 per 1000 thousands live births in 2005 and 143 per 1000 live births in 2006 (2007, P1).
According to the article, "Drop in Aids Deaths will boost EA population – UN ","A projected decline in the HIV/Aids infection rate will help make East Africa one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, the United Nations reported last week" so there should be a serious solution to this problem from the government . Also there is the poverty which helps increase the population and in this case the other countries should give Tanzania a hand to help them. In addition there are the lack of many thing in Tanzania especially the health care and there should be focus on education and its matters.

All of these problems when they happen will lead to other problems including the increasing in the population and the emigration and other serious problems. So in Tanzania it is considered as a humanity matter and many people are concern about Tanzanian people and their future. The Tanzanian problems and especially the population get special news and studies year after year so that they can know what the future will come up with because in country such as Tanzania every day a new thing will happen and every day is important regarding to their current situation.

When in unable country happens a big problem they are most likely to get hurt from this problem than the other countries which are rich or able to handle things, and one of this problem When a disease come to a particular country then they suffer from it a long time that indicates many things will happen and they are not good events. In Tanzania there is a virus called HIV/Aids, it infects many people there and " that will help make East Africa one of the fastest growing regions in the world," according to the United Nations (2007,P1). According to (Arusha Times,February 24,2007) ,"Tanzania HIV/AIDS indicators survey conducted between 2003 and 2004, shows that 7 per cent of the adults aged 15 to 49 years, on the mainland, were infected with HIV". And also according to Arshur Times,(2007, P1) " 'The epidemic is a serious threat to the socio-economic development of the country. It has serious and direct implications on social services, and in the absence of a cure and vaccine, the impact is devastating" saying by Shein an expert of East African problems. Many parts of Africa suffer from the poverty at first, then come all the kinds of problems. And this disease appear at first in Africa and it was unknown disease has appeared. And Tanzania one of countries which expected to experience sharp population increases in coming years. According to the United Nation " Tanzania's population will grow from 40 million today to 85 million by mid-century" (2007, P1). Also they estimate to live longer lives but that does not mean it is the happiness that they will live longer than other people, because they will face many problems that will occur due to the this disease. They usually only tend to get more than 3 children when the disease come to their own children and that which increase the population in the country but meanwhile there are the poverty and they still likely to get killed from the disease." Today's life expectancy - ranging from 51.5 years in Uganda, to 52.5 years in Tanzania, and 54.1 years in Kenya - will climb to more than 65 years in each of the three countries by 2050" according to the united nation new revision of global population estimates. And that indicated to huge population increasing happens in East Africa and Tanzania one of these countries. But still there are many problems going around as long as the disease is going around and as well as the increasing in the population. In this case the government should take care of its people and send them the necessarily solution to get rid of this disease because it threat the population, the government and the economy in the country.

For example when one family has more than three children and they can not afford their needed and can not take responsibility over their children especially in the financial problems that means they will suffer from the poverty at the same time they will tend to get more than three children even if they can handle it just to maintain their average and due to that the economy will get more worse than before because the consumers will be more but the worth and the money which will be spent will not be as much as the money that spent in better countries.

And all of that means there will be fertility rate even if the family can not handle it, so the government should take control of many thing in the cities and the other regions there.

The poverty in Africa especially in the East it is really big and serious problem. They tend to scheduled many conference to find a solution for this problems at least to put some programs to improve the economy or the abilities in these countries to remove the poverty. We may find these countries have the availability in the resources in their countries such as water or solar energy or even the gold in special places but this century is the oil revolution century so they tend to suffer from the poverty although they have these resources. There should be many organizations that take care of Tanzanians people in build a new hospitals. In this case it is at first a matter of humanity , we can not see some government alone suffer from these problems and stay without doing any thing, so there are many countries that try to help Tanzania so that they can get benefit in many ways not only in the humanity matters but also in the future they will get benefit from poor countries when they improve their situation because they will appreciate what the other countries have done to them.

Also there should be some organization that studies the resources situation in Tanzania and tries to get benefit from it for the government and to the economic and when they use their resources they will be able to handle their own country and reduce the overpopulation and also they can give their citizens the choices in this matter and it will not be that big problem. If we notice when we reduce the poverty then we could reduce the population and increase the economy. And the poverty increase many problems in Tanzania such as; escalating burden of hunger, malaria, HIV/AIDS. That means if the country itself just will be alone then there will be other problems like; deaths, emigration, loss great mind. According to (Arshur times, February 24, 2007) "The vice president has also launched the 2006 country's population policy to direct development of other policies, strategies and programs to enhance development sustainability and reduce poverty". That what the government and the citizens need, organized new programs observe the poverty situation in Tanzania and try to improve the country's statues and provide many policy for what they need to give to the people their in order to reduce the poverty. So we can tell these countries have their own resources and just wanted a help to get rid at first from the poverty by many things like studying the resources situation in their country. As long as there is a poverty there will be many other problems, and the poverty is the first problem that lead to the population problems whether it is increase or decrease but it has the most affect to change the population situation. So the other government at least should help them with the reduce of the poverty or even provide them with better service to live better life and that in the future will build a strong relationships between the two population of the two countries and the countries will get benefit from each other in the future.

There is also lack of knowledge of proper child care and the scarcity of healthcare facilities and also the lack of health workers (Inter Press Service,June 25,2007). In this case the government should give scholarship to the youth people and the people who want to study and have the ability to study. There is usually low education in the countries that have strong and high education level. They should give them insurance and make sure they will return to their country after finishing studying, because the country will depends on them in the future. Also when there are a lot of great minds and ability that are potentially will be the real solution in the future in Tanzania and they are mostly can figure out what to do in the future and how to use the resources then the government should deal with them carefully.

In addition, the government claims that they provide a health policy to all regions in Tanzania. On the other hand people say Tanzanians are not being reached the health service also they say the population is bigger than the government's ability to provide the service (Issac maro, The evasive goal of stopping children from dying ). In this situation the government has an awkward attitude because its citizens do not believe what it says also they doubt the government ability, so there should be help from the other countries to get the government out of bigger problem at the same time they will help Tanzanians people. Also people tend to go to long distance in order to get a medical health care they tend to go to long distance out of their cities and that lead to the child mortality because of the lack of the healthcare medical and also in other way it lead to increase the population.

In conclusion, Mostly in Africa the new kind of diseases appear and Hiv/Aids is one of them. in Tanzania there are a lot of resources and they are of the most options that make the future perfect but to get rid of all the problems and get the benefit from these resources their should be many Tanzanians citizens who obtain scholarship. In Tanzania there are some regions which have the lack of healthcare. There are many poor regions but in Tanzania there are the poverty and other problems which lead to the overpopulation. More process in studying the future and observe the resources in Tanzania the solution will be near than before.
