A large population for some countries is a positive thing because a large population can be used as a subject for development, the economy will develop if the number of workers is large. A large population, if accompanied by adequate population quality, will be a driver for economic growth. On the other hand, a large population combined with low quality makes that population a burden on national development.
A large population can also prevent a country's economy and development from developing quickly because it will be difficult to develop competence human resources, especially if the country is a poor country. The quality of a country's population will be seen from the education they receive and the jobs available. For poor countries, this is far from expected because the government's focus must be on building human resources first.
Yes. It cannot be denied that if we compare the impact of a large population on a country's economy, ranging from unemployment, mismanagement, gaps in access to basic services and lack of sustainable development of natural resources, this is a complex problem that has positive and negative aspects of course.
Well, I think what is needed is independent efforts from the community in terms of creating new jobs, let's say self-employed activities and of course don't expect too much to get a job from the government. I think this mainshet must exist and get a helping hand from the government to encourage it so that there are young cadres who after graduating from school do not have to become civil servants in their country.
