Abstract

Featuring eye underdevelopment, uneven and incomplete in the world, and the population numbers, the temptation of a correlation between the two is common. To analyze it, it must be examined under the word population, possible indicators. This has several issues: the lack of development is it due to settlement, that is to say, to too many people in a territory? Is it due to too high population density? Is it due to insufficient agricultural land? Is it due to the excessive concentration of population in narrow areas, so urbanization? Is it due to excessive population growth? Here are five questions to be answered in order to analyze the possible interrelationships between population and development.]
