HELB took you to university . Anyway, I understand your bias.
@GeorginaMakena soma hii link pole pole. Recent research has shown clearly that in the past the theory that economists held that economic growth is pegged on population growth is a falsehood. As late as 1986 the U.S. still supported that theory but once popukation growth was determined to be a neutral factor the Amarican policy shifted and they relaxed their stand on family planning. Proof is there. Did you here Obama talk about family planning? He addressed gay rights. America policy shifted comcerning population control.
This article is by the International Growth Center a research center based at the London School of Economics. It clearly dispels this myth that you still hold : https://www.theigc.org/blog/is-population-growth-good-or-bad-for-economic-development/
