the creation of jobs in countries with differing Gross National Income per capita. When speaking of job creation‚ one can expect that the impact and the significant importance of a factor‚ such as growth rate of the agriculture sector‚ would vary across developing and developed nations. In nations with high national income the agriculture sector is highly capital intensive and higher growth rates in production are achieved through improvements in crop yield. In such countries we can expect that there

LARGE POPULATION A KEY TO ECONOMIC PROGRESS Introduction: Thomas Malthus in his published book “An Essay on the Principle of Population” claimed that there is a tendency for the population growth rate to surpass the production growth rate because population increases at a geometrical rate while production increases at an arithmetic rate. Thus‚ the unfettered population growth in a country could plunge it into acute poverty. However‚ the pessimist view has proven unfounded for developed economies

this change is its rapid population growth. Nevada is currently one of the fastest growing states in the country‚ with a population estimation of 2‚700‚551 people in 2010.

to control Population Growth Population growth is the rate of increase in the size of a given area‚ such as a city‚ country or continent. Population growth is closely linked to fertility‚ which is the rate at which women produce offspring. Due to the limited resources on earth and in various countries‚ rampant population growth can lead to inadequate food and other amenities‚ so in certain cases it can be beneficial to attempt to limit population growth.
