The relationship between population growth and growth of economic output has been studied extensively (Heady & Hodge, ).Many analysts believe that economic growth in high-income countries is likely to be relatively slow in coming years in part because population growth in these countries is predicted to slow considerably (Baker, Delong, & Krugman, ). There are several reasons why population growth in developing countries is today a greater economic burden than it once was in today's developed countries: Population growth is now much more rapid. As Chapter 4 showed, in industrializing Europe it seldom exceeded percent a year, compared with the 2 to 4 percent that most developing coun-. The long-term growth of the world’s economy depends on the interplay of two forces: lower population means fewer one-in-a-million innovators, but better standards of Author: Bill Conerly. The implication is that if the developing countries want to increase their rate of growth of per capita GDP relative to the developed nations, they must limit their population growth. Figure “Population and Income Growth, –” plots growth rates in population versus growth rates in per capita GDP from to for more than.
Economic growth can be defined as the increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. It is conventionally measured as the percent rate of increase in real gross domestic product, or real GDP.. Growth is usually calculated in real terms - i.e., inflation-adjusted terms – to eliminate the distorting effect of inflation on the price. Population growth, globally, simply means that births outnumber deaths. In the sense of “growth” (that is, the number gets bigger) it’s not particularly important and can even be, in some senses, a difficult challenge (more people equals more reso. Population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or % per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in to billion in It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at billion by mid, billion by mid and billion by. Population Growth And Sustainable Development In Developed-Developing Countries C, S.4 our world, which has to feed more people with more scarce resources.
Even with this narrow definition of less developed countries, the intermediate group was less than billion, or less than 20 percent of world population. 9 The preponderant population was thus divided between the very low and the rather high level of per capita economic performance. Obviously, this aspect of modern economic growth deserves. We find the same relationship, between the occupational structure and economic development. In less developed countries like India, more or less same trend is observed. For instance the per capita income of India was 60 dollar in and out of total work force 74% was engaged in agriculture 11% in industry and 15% in service sector. According to Haller (), economic growth is the process of increasing the sizes of national economies, the macro-economic indications, especially the GDP per capita, in an ascendant but not Author: Alina Haller.

In fact rapid population growth has been obstructing economic growth in developing countries like India where since population has been growing at a relatively high rate. In Table [ ].
