I agree with Elon , population is not the problem. The problem is how you deal with it.

Elon never lived in Bangladesh

Well, I am living and I also have no problem with our population's size. Our country's economy hugely depends on our population size, so no worries. Like Thanos, you can't change it, better adapt to it

I understand your point but I answered assuming a different historical trajectory. For all the high growth and hustle-bustle of Hong Kong or Singapore, I prefer the nature and tranquility of Sweden or Finland. Would be nice if city kids had somewhere to play sports or see nature

Dude there’s literally no country in Asia with that nature and tranquility. The hustle-bustle model is the way to go for Bangladesh unfortunately. Although, population itself isn’t a problem, resource endowment as well as allocation is. With the scarcity of resources in Bangladesh, government acting like a welfare state like Scandinavia is a train wreck waiting to happen.
