The issues and questions of population care, composition and control are complex problems influenced by economic, social and political situations in the country. This issue requires complex approaches based on the unique situation inside the country and its financial health. In India, the questions of population care, composition and control are both national and international concern because of the unstable political and economic situation inside the country.
Population care and composition requires national approaches based on cultural traditions and historical trends. For instance, the money comes flowing in, and because none of the retired population is covered, little of the financial resources goes flowing out. Early surpluses tend to get spent, and taxes tend to remain low. The result is that social support programs have tendencies toward financial instability, in part because of anticipated outflows of profits, but also because their short-term financing is increasingly dependent on the Indian economy (Dyson et al 76). In this case, the Indian government should stipulate the main trends and approaches but the international community should support these ideas and maintain close cooperation in such issues as pandemics and disease management. Roughly half of everything that federal, state, and local authorities spend on social welfare, including education, housing, welfare, veterans programs, health, social insurance, and other human services, goes toward social support expenditures that amount to 9% of the gross national product. The major health care programs cover nearly all workers and their families (Dyson et al 32).
In case of population control, this issue should be influenced by national policies only. In spite of the existence of public and private transfers, the Indian government has also chosen to make a substantial investment in social insurance. Thus, international cooperation and consultations are possible as they will help India to adopt new programs and plans for population control and resource allocation. Program costs are predictable for each social program and are then divided by the number of people paying into the program. Then, when these healthcare risks which workers and their families are protected against occur, benefits are paid as an earned right. In other words, in exchange for a moderately modest premium payment, the insurer assumes the risk that would otherwise have to be borne by the individual and his or her family. National support, by definition, involves the use of a “means test,” and social support does not. Here, in brief, is how such programs are generally structured. Utilizing social principles, the population pool their resources, thereby enabling them to share their risks (Dyson et al 44).
In sum, population care, composition and population control are complex problems requiring national concern and international support. Special attention should be paid to disease and epidemics management and environmental problems. Given such complexities, the plans are open to many countries about how they work. Many consider them the finest examples of effective program implementation action; others view them as shell games and sources of inequities. National and social benefits must be assigned to certain social groups and revenues raised. How these national programs and taxes are structured-that is, deciding who benefits from and who pays for transfers–is the concern on which much national policy debate centers. The national programs escaped this problem for a long time because of unexpected growth in the number of population in India working and unexpected increases in wage rates, combined with relatively prudent expansions in the benefit levels and careful monitoring of the plan’s financing.
