Hello. You have not informed the text or the situation to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
To answer this question accurately it would be necessary for you to read a text or know of a situation that brought some context to the question. However, a government can approach the increase in minority populations in two ways which are either by promoting factors that support that population or by trying to combat it.
Minority populations are socially disadvantaged populations, for this reason, it is important that governments seek to establish social policies that help this population to fit fairly into society. The larger the population, the more necessary these policies are. However, governments can try to fight these populations by creating elements that further disfavor them and promote their reduction, promoting unfair and prejudiced policies.
