The document discusses the impact of population growth on economic development in India. It notes that while a larger population can provide more labor, high population growth can outpace available resources and hinder development. The paper aims to analyze how India's fast population growth affects economic development and suggests measures to control overpopulation. It will use regression analysis to study the relationship between variables like population growth, GDP growth, unemployment, human resource development, and trade openness. The results indicate that very high population growth can slow economic development by increasing consumption needs beyond available resources and hindering capital formation. However, population growth may aid development if increases in population are proportionate to available resources and people have skills to productively use resources.
