Yes. Granted, a large population helps ensure sufficient labour force in an economy. Industrial growth helps a country to rise, and it requires a large labour force.But, let's look at China. People say that China's growth is evidence that a large population is not a burden. However, China's rise is the result of the combined effects of success in national defence, economic revolution and the flow of foreign capital. The large population did not directly lead to China's current economic success.Another question is whether a large proportion of the population in China benefit from economic growth. Many people there live below the poverty line. Foreign businessmen are the ones who benefit.Everyone wants fairness, freedom and human rights. In order to be fair, the resources of a country should be allocated equally to every citizen.
That is fine for a country with a small population. But in a large country, the amount of resources allocated to each individual is so small that it cannot raise the living standards. If a select group of people lead the development of a country, it is unfair to those who are not chosen.If a country is not wealthy, it often relies on foreign investment. This often leads to exploitation of the local work force. The government usually has little to say about the foreign investors as the financial help it receives is essential to support its expenses.Medical costs increase enormously in a large country where the population growth is very rapid, too.
