Thanks to the invitation ... as we known that the age groups active in the economy are between the age of twenty and seventy years ... The increase in the population, especially non-adults are consuming age groups with many needs and multiple, especially children ... This increase requires double performance Of the categories produced in the economy, except that there are groups that take care of these unproductive age groups, in addition to the scarcity or scarcity of resources available in the state economy

Hmmm, depend what is the reason of increasing : working market opening? demographic growth? Opening working market will indicate an economical growth for short and medium term. Demographic growth can affect differently the economy, I did not know what's the procent between inactive population and active population, level of productivity,  what kind of economy we study: emerging economy, primary economy (extractive only)...consolidated economy? In any case demographic growth will affect for long time the economy in this particular case.

Thank you for the invitation

There is a Chinese saying that as long as I have one mouth and I owe it, I can support at least two people.

On the one hand, economic growth is increasing exponentially as this population growth increases

Population growth The Indo function and economic growth function is a function of this

Scarcity of resources and search for alternatives leads to competition

From the above we can say that humanity must pursue sustainable development so as not to get lost

The existing state of knowledge does not warrant any clear-cut generalization as to the effect of population growth on economic development in today's less developed areas. Some theoretical analyses argue that high population growth creates pressures on limited natural resources, reduces private and public capital formation, and diverts additions to capital resources to maintaining rather than increasing the stock of capital per worker. Others point to positive effects such as economies of scale and specialization, the possible spur to favorable motivation caused by increased dependency, and the more favorable attitudes, capacities, and motivations of younger populations compared with older ones. The actual evidence on the association between growth rates of population and per capita income does not point to any uniform conclu sion, though the true relationship may be obscured in a simple two-variable comparison. None of this means that per capita income growth, currently and in the past, would have been the same if population growth rates had been markedly higher or lower. But it is possible that the effect of population growth on economic development has been exaggerated, or that no single generalization is justified for countries differing as widely in growth rates, densities, and income levels as do today's less developed areas. Clearly there is need for more intensive re search on the actual experience of nations, currently and in the past.
