Question

What is the Impact of India’s Population Growth on Economic Development?

Answer 1

Answer:

In his study of population growth and economic development in India, Coale and Hoover focused on the adverse effect of population growth on the resources available for productive investment. Thus, rapid population growth obstructs economic development by reducing the growth of productive capital.

Answer 2

Answer:

☑ That rapid population growth causes increase in poverty can also be known from its effect on agriculture. Increase in population raises population pressure on arable land and reduces land-man ratio which causes lower productivity per person and leads to disguised unemployment and poverty.
