Challenging economic myth: Overpopulation ≠ underdevelopment!
The article challenges the myth that overpopulation inevitably leads to underdevelopment, highlighting examples of populous countries like India and China that have achieved significant economic growth. It argues that population size alone does not determine a nation’s development trajectory; rather, it is how countries harness their human capital and resources. While India and China have used their large populations to drive economic growth, countries like Nigeria and Pakistan face challenges due to weak institutions, political instability, and inadequate infrastructure. The article emphasizes the importance of investing in human capital and addressing structural inequalities to promote sustainable development. Overall, it calls for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between population growth and economic development to foster inclusive policies and address global challenges effectively.
