$\huge\fcolorbox{black}{teal}{Solution:-}$

★ Question:-

→ "There is a negative correlation between economic development and population growth throughout the world". Expound.

★ Answer:-

→ Thomas Malthus put forward the theory for the first time in his, "An Essay of the Principle of Population" that there is a negative correlation between these two factors, i.e., population growth would result in lower rate of economic development .

~ So, how is the given statement valid? Let's analyse! :)

• Population growth has impaired the productivity of non-renewable natural resources and their provision of environmental services. This has resulted in issues like increased pollution & depletion of natural resources.

• Population growth is likely to depress wages at the bottom end of pay scale. Thus, increasing income inequality.

• High proportions of school age children, characteristic of countries experiencing rapid population growth, undoubtedly put pressure on existing school and health-care facilities.

• Population growth acts as a barrier to economic development since the growth of population grows never in commensurate with the growth of food supply. Actually speaking, as the rate of growth of population exceeds the rate of production, economic development is hampered.

— Hence, it can be concluded that population trends can impede or hasten development.
