Population and economic growth
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the effect of population on productivity. Results indicated that population may minimize productivity because of traditional diminishing returns from more intensive use of land and other natural resources. Findings also showed that the net relation between greater population and per capita incomes correlate with inducements to human capital and expansion of knowledge.
