China and India, which are currently the first and second largest countries, have grown to become world economic powers. In my opinion, population is an economic power because business opportunities certainly require a long process from production to consumption, countries that have large populations are certainly a very useful resource and important for the economy.
It is true that sometimes abundant human resources due to a large population in a country sometimes have a positive impact on a country's economy. Especially if the country is led by a government that is able to manage state finances and the country's natural resources well. Because economic problems actually more often arise as a result of governance that is wrong and not in accordance with what it should be.
Some of the positive things about a large population in a country are
✓ Abundance of Labor (Abundant human resources)
✓ Potential consumers. (There will be no shortage of consumers)
✓ Will trigger more diversity of innovation and creativity.
✓ Abundant human resources will also strengthen military strength because more people will enter the military field.
✓ And others.
