The relationship between population growth and economic development may be summarised in the words of Robert McNamara—the past president of the World Bank. He described it as ‘the most delicate and difficult issue of our era… It is overlaid with emotion. It is controversial. It is subtle. Above all, it is immeasurably complex.
Mao Zedong once remarked that “A country’s greatest wealth is its people.
On the some vein, the then Prime Minister Mr. Pitt of England declared in the 18th century:
“A man could enrich his country by producing a number of children, even if the whole family were paupers.” All these suggest that not only there is no conflict between population growth and economic development but also an increase in population is necessary for increase in wealth and development. But, antithesis to this is the Malthusian version which regards population growth as the number one barrier to economic development. Neo-Malthusians attribute all of the world’s modem problems of underdevelopment to massive population growth.
Thus, there is a conflicting role between population growth and economic development. It can act both as a stimulus and as an impediment to growth and development. Such conflicting roles suggest that the relationship between population and economic development is intricate, complex and interesting.
