Topic: Population: Economic strength or weakness - page 6. (Read 1795 times)

Possible can be included with the management of the government sometimes, even a good developing country from the previous management can easily manage the growth of an economy but of course not all through years they are the ones who handle the community, and the next administration doesn't really care about the community just for the money itself this can be possible makes the people suffer because of this wrong decision made by them. The reason why getting wise to vote is ideal and just known only.

Too much population too can affect the economy and if the parents are not capable of supporting the basic needs of their children and this cycle as always happened and the government is not prepared with this case reason why they didn't give all the support needed by those people. AFAIK in some country there a restriction with the limit of possible children they have.

Although there are big countries that have handled overpopulation fairly well we cannot ignore that there are those who are not as fortunate. In the country I live in, there is no doubt that overpopulation is brewing as more and more children are being born every day, and based on statistics an average family here has 3-5 children. In this country, it is very much seen how the country is having much trouble handling the demand of people as food supplies and basic necessities are not being distributed fairly due to low supplies (the country is basically experiencing food shortage and agricultural issues for years now). There is also the issue of education wherein public academic institutions are overpopulated by students, having one classroom to cater to 50-60 students). Although the rich may not see the problem, it is certainly the less fortunate ones who feel the problem every day. Nevertheless, I agree with you regarding the responsibility of the government here and their failure (or lack of action) to attend to them problem brought by overpopulation.

Overpopulation is good for the economy and development but overpopulation is the opposite. How a country manages its population determines its destiny. With the right economic and population management, a country can have both a strong economy and military power. The orthodox view is that overpopulation is bad for the economy. Revisionists, argue that a high growth rate contributes positively to economic growth by increasing human capital accumulation.

Attempts to reduce population growth are therefore unnecessary or harmful for economic growth. The most important point here is that my comments are not based on overpopulation but on the population that should be there. Otherwise, the richest, most developed and prosperous countries in the world would be China, India and Pakistan. There is no correct premise for population and economic development and every view has its rights and wrongs.

I think that overpopulation has its effects in terms of the economic status of a country, and it can go either way. As what you had mentioned, overpopulation might harm the development of a country if there are no enough employment that would suffice the whole population. In which I think, overpopulation wouldn't do any good for a developing country, as it might hinder them for developing. Another thing, overpopulation can lead to scarcity because the demand is higher than the availability of the resources.

Given all the reasons, I must say that population is an economic weakness. But, one of the ways that I can think of to make population as a strength, is to invest in producing functional and productive citizen. If a country has a huge population, but consists of effective and efficient citizen, it will positively contribute to the development and economic growth of the country. Simply, more productive citizen means more taxes, and more taxes means more funding for the government.

Managing resources is indeed the government's responsibility, but the government cannot do it without human resources capable of processing them and employing foreign workers who can process them is indeed a good choice but it would be better if the government provided good education for its people so they can manage existing resources themselves and this will help revive the economy of their own community. You are right that there is no country that doesn't think about the welfare of its people, but there are some governments that don't think about the welfare of their people, they are more concerned with themselves I think this is what can hinder economic growth in the area.

In many cases population may be more or less problem, but I think if population is converted into skilled manpower by education training technical knowledge etc. human resource development knowledge Then population will never be a burden to a country and will act as a measure of progress. Many countries are now taking various steps to increase population If the population of the underdeveloped and developing countries does not increase, how can the developed countries get everything cheaply, it is quite correct in one aspect because the population in my country is very high, that's why people of our country go abroad more.Jan Population is a problem in many cases and a boon in many cases like covid 19Due to the large population and high income, my country will survive fairly well.According to them, if the population can be made efficient through proper planning, it will act as a force, and India and China are examples.Their high population is working as a blessing many countries are developed despite low population, but you have to remember that small money divided by small number seems high per capita but high population If they are divided by few, the amount of income seems to be less but when considered as a whole, more population is more power of the state. Every populous country is more successful in coming out of any problem Because they succeed in working in the day of danger.
Finally, population will definitely add strength to more economic sectors if the political leaders have proper plan to run the country they consider population as a resource and plan accordingly Creating by technical know-how definitely works economically strong.

All government parties in all countries certainly promise to continue to prosper their country when they nominate themselves as leader of the country. Even though the promises they made were not necessarily kept, they did this just to get votes from their own people. In general, the government's responsibility is large because they must be able to organize all aspects very well so that welfare figures can be seen enough in their country.

However, this often seems imperfect in some countries, so that up to now there are still countries that are densely populated and have sufficient resources, but the citizens cannot fully enjoy their own wealth. In fact, this could also be caused by the lack of human resources that the government can rely on, so it is true that the government should care more about education. And also health so that their human resources can develop well enough and in accordance with what is required by the state.

In my own observation every populated country are blessed with enough resources to take care of them, but in this regard assume they have good government the citizens will enjoy their wealth, but due to bad leaders we are experiencing that why we are suffering. It is the responsibility of government to take good care of her country, in time of health, education, housing, etc. If government provide good education to the citizens it make it easier for the government to rule because the people will be able to understand what the government want.

No nation will boldly said that they didn't plan for the population of the country in future.

Excess population is mostly responsible for the underdevelopment of a country. As overpopulation is a major problem, the government has asked for some measures to be taken in taking children. According to the government, two children are enough. But if the government of a country can create employment for people, then the population is not a matter, the economic development of your country is calculated by per capita income. If the per capita income is high, then that country will develop. If employment opportunities are not created for the people of the country then instead of increasing the per capita income will decrease every year and the unemployment rate will increase after which the economic condition of a country will become very bad. In countries where there is not enough employment, the governments of those countries usually do various campaigns to have fewer children.

I don't think it's a bad idea to employ the skills and services of foreigners by countries that those manpower skills and services are lacking due to underpopulation, if a country fears for it's future by opening her boarder to foreigner with the needed skills to troop then the government of such country's would be doing a disservice to her people as they would have to work constant overtime and that can lead to a more breakdown in human capital.

Why can salvage the situation is just as you both agreed on the government to create a programme that will encourage couples and single matured people to increase their number of childbirth, cause where the necessary
social  amenities and welfare service are working fine people won't think twice before giving birth knowing fully it won't turn out to be a burden alas.

Of course, under population is a problem. A country can face some problems in the future if they have under population. It happens in Japan, they are facing a problem of under population. The number of foreigners is increasing constantly to deal with the situation. If too many foreigners, I think it won't be good for Japan in the future.

Well, this problem is probably caused by the lifestyle, the economic situation, or lack of confidence from mature people to raise children. The government should make a special program to all people that they must be confident to grow children. The government must support with assistance programs, so there are no mature people who doubt to have children. Also, the idea to give rewards for the couples that have children seem good to apply as well.

This is what makes a nation worry when most of its population are having lack of education as it is also giving them limited opportunity. And when they have limited opportunity, that's not good for a country's economy.

Family planning and as well as putting a lot of budget in the education sector which is what most rich countries are doing.

Education is still the best asset that a person will have and that's why governments are investing on their own people for their studies and educations.

Population growth and the unplanned occurrence of this increase is a big problem for states. If the education level of the increasing population is low and qualified individuals cannot be raised, poverty begins in that country. This is inevitable. The population wants to be fed and economic power is needed to feed these people. If a population without added value emerges, big problems will arise.

To prevent these, studies should be carried out under the name of population planning. Anything unplanned brings trouble. Therefore, a planned population ensures that the population contributes positively to the economy.

I think that replacing everyone with robots or having many workers where everything needs to be automated is not rational. We need to find a balance between automation and employee development.

As for agriculture, I think this area is still poorly automated, if you look at the world average. I remembered an example of how in a country like Poland, which is quite strong in the agricultural sector, migrants still collect strawberries through hard manual labor and receive little pay. (I apologize to the residents of this country for such an example. I mention this without malicious intent.)

Yes sure that everything has some benefits as well as disadvantages now its up to the country that how they think? Will they take benefit out of higher population or they will it as a burden?

If there is larger population then resources should also be increased because if resources become limited then some will deprived of it.  Cost of thing will also increases because there will be little amount of materials to cover the needs of humans therefore government will rise the price of such materials.

While among its advantages one is the creation of new technologies if an individual of a country becomes creative and talented. Government income will also increases because larger the population larger will be tax cutting from their income which will be added in the income of government

Population plays a major role to strengthen the economy. If education is given to children, they will become a good people of the country, in this way population or more children will be helpful for country. More children if they will work, they will earn more money by working. When I talk about education, it's not meaning a academic education, it means a financial education that will give your child a mindset of rich people. If a country want to progress, they should train their child for work. When they will reach to young age, they will play a vital role in country economy. They can do a lot of businesses and they can sell businesses, they can also purchase a profitable businesses, in young age they will have power to do every type of investment. They should have knowledge of Bitcoin, in early age, if they will be skilled in these things, they will double their income for a multiple of times. Increase in population is not an issue, the issue is illiteracy, because without education man I'm s nothing, he cannot take decisions for himself.

Limiting the number of children who have been actively campaigning in my country since more than 50 years ago is now starting to produce, many parents and most people in my country think that the maximum number of children 3 is ideal, if not immediately make a campaign to increase the number of children again it seems like 20 years from now the population of my country will decrease by more than 15% from now.

What if, rather than racing to the bottom with the automation route, we invest in improving worker skills? Upskilling and reskilling might sound like jargon, but they're genuine solutions for the future. This would not only improve job quality but also reduce the dependency on unskilled labor.

As for the public workforce, you're right; robots can't replace empathy, understanding, and human connection. However, in sectors such as agriculture, though tech can help, we need to consider the social ramifications. Farmers losing their jobs en masse to machines - sounds like a dystopian novel, doesn't it?

Under population is not very good and that is what will make a country open their borders for foreigners out of need for labour force. I think there is a solution to this through government policy by giving rewards to couples who increase the numbers of children they give birth to depending on the number stipulated by government. Another point is to discourage abortion because people do that as final resort when they have no other option.

I think it also depends on the model of work, because if it's a job like agriculture or plantation, of course you can see a worker through the experience and knowledge he already has so that the determination of his salary can be very clear. But if it is a farm or plantation that already uses certain machines or technologies, what must be seen here is the manager of the machine or the one who runs the technology. Because certain machines or technologies also cannot run by themselves if there is no operator to operate them.

From the beginning I have never thought that the human population is a problem, because in fact it has been seen that the number of human populations clearly has benefits for the country and also for the founders of factories or companies that require a large number of workers. So that certain countries are currently paying more attention to the human population in it so that those who have factories and companies can use them to work in companies or factories. Thus the level of economic turnover will also be better because the production of goods and services can always run without stopping.
