Population Economics

Population economics is a branch of economics that examines how population dynamics—such as birth rates, death rates, and migration—affect economic outcomes. It studies how changes in population size and structure influence labor markets, resource allocation, and overall economic growth. Additionally, it explores the impact of economic policies on population trends, such as education and health initiatives. Understanding these relationships helps policymakers address issues like unemployment, poverty, and sustainability, ultimately aiming for balanced economic development in the context of changing demographics.
