Population and Development

Population and development in developmental economics examine how the size and characteristics of a population affect economic growth and social progress. A growing population can provide a larger workforce and stimulate demand for goods and services, but it can also strain resources and infrastructure if not well managed. Development policies aim to improve education, health, and living standards, leading to a more productive population. Balancing population growth with sustainable development is crucial for achieving long-term economic stability and improving overall quality of life.
