Population Dynamics and its Effects on Development

Population dynamics refers to the changes in population size, structure, and distribution over time, influenced by factors like birth rates, death rates, and migration. These dynamics significantly impact development, as a growing population can create demand for resources, jobs, and infrastructure, driving economic growth. Alternatively, rapid population increases without adequate resources can lead to challenges such as unemployment, environmental degradation, and social unrest. Understanding population dynamics helps policymakers plan for sustainable development, ensuring that communities can thrive while balancing economic, social, and environmental needs.
