There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, , language: English, abstract: What is the causal relationship between population growth and socio- economic development of the town? How do socio-economic developments respond due to dynamics in Population growth? What should be the plausible policy recommendations ought to be taken into account in order to reduce the rapid population growth and bring its socio-economic improvement? The general objective of this study is to assess the impact of rapid population growth on socio economic development of Ambo town of west Shoa Zone of the Oromia regional state. The studies aim to provide recent and comprehensive information on the impact of rapid population growth on socio-economic development of the town. It also tells us the impact of rapid population in urban areas that result from population growth through high fertility rate, and high rural-urban migration. The studies provide information’s on current condition of different data profiles and policy recommendations on the impact of rapid population growth on economic development of Ambo town. It also used for policy makers on social services and economic development of the town. It further contributes to the existing literature by extending the works of others and helps in filling the knowledge gap in this area. The paper organized into five main chapters with the first chapter including background, the statement of problem, research question, objectives, and the scope of the study, and significance of the study. The second chapter mainly focuses on review of literatures. The third chapter is the research methodology. The fourth chapter contains data analysis and interpretation and the fifth chapter is conclusion and recommendation.

This book deals with macro and micro aspects of population change and their inter-face with socio-economic factors and impact. It examines theoretical notions and pursues their empirical manifestations and uses multidisciplinary approaches to population change and diversity. It investigates the organic nature of the relationships between socio-economic factors and population change and the feedback loops that affect socio-economic organisation and behaviour. The book brings together material often scattered in a number of sources and disciplines that helps to understand population change and their socio-economic aspects. In addition to dealing with the more conventional factors in population dynamics in the form of fertility, mortality and migration, the book examines socio-economic forces that influence them. It discusses population evolving attributes that affect population characteristics and social and behaviour and impact on the environment. Further, it deals with social organisation and pathways that lead to different social and economic development and standards of living of diverse populations.

This book addresses nine relevant questions: Will population growth reduce the growth rate of per capita income because it reduces the per capita availability of exhaustible resources? How about for renewable resources? Will population growth aggravate degradation of the natural environment? Does more rapid growth reduce worker output and consumption? Do rapid growth and greater density lead to productivity gains through scale economies and thereby raise per capita income? Will rapid population growth reduce per capita levels of education and health? Will it increase inequality of income distribution? Is it an important source of labor problems and city population absorption? And, finally, do the economic effects of population growth justify government programs to reduce fertility that go beyond the provision of family planning services?
