Population and Development

Anthony Thirlwall

Chapter Chapter 6 in Growth and Development, 1989, pp 148-176 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Population growth plays a conflicting role in the development process. It can act both as a stimulus and an impediment to growth and development. The question, to which there is no easy answer, is at what point do the economic disadvantages begin to outweigh the advantages? Where does the balance lie?
