Yes it is an urgent and important situation. Population is the resource of labour force. The larger the size of population, the larger will be the labor force. Labor alone cannot produce anything. If other resources required for production are also available in sufficient quantity then a labour force is productive assets for a country. If other resources are not available in sufficient quantities then large labour force can become an obstruction to faster economic

growth.
India's enormous population explosion neutralizes whatever economic progress the country makes. 70% of the workers are employed in agriculture, yet there is still not enough food. For every 10 workers, there are 25 non-working dependents to feed. Thus, the major part of earned income goes for consumption and little is left over for savings and investment. Per capita income ($73) is the lowest of the first 22 nations.

No, I do not think that it is enough for measuring economic development because-
- There are other ways to determine the economic development like literacy rate, health status etc.
- This is an average, it may not represent the standard of living of the people.
-  It is an average amount of the total income which means it can't show the actual income status of a country.

It's not good, India's enormous population explosion neutralizes whatever economic progress the country makes. 70% of the workers are employed in agriculture, yet there is still not enough food. For every 10 workers, there are 25 non-working dependents to feed. Thus, the major part of earned income goes for consumption and little is left over for

Per capita income ($73) is the lowest of the first 22 nations. The per capita income is already low due to the population, if the population increases the per capita income will reduce.

Use your creativity and draw a poster to show how over population affected Indian economy.

Per capita income is not enough for measuring economic development? Do you agree or not?

Population is the resource of labor force. The larger the size of population, the larger will be the labor force. Labour alone cannot produce anything. If other resources required for production are also available in sufficient quantity then a labour force is productive assets for a country. If other resources are not available in sufficient quantities then large labour force can become an obstruction to faster economic

growth. Some countries particularly the developing countries have fast growth rate of population.

Thus, the major part of earned income goes for consumption and little is left over for savings and investment. Per capita income ($73) is the lowest of the first 22 nations. 40% of the population is made up of teenagers, which poses a potential threat to the social security of the nation if their energies are not directed toward constructive goals and if satisfactory jobs cannot be provided for them. The only way to raise economic standards is to reduce the birthrate. To do this, the people must understand the great importance of family planning.
