Analysis Of The Relationships Between Population Change And Economic Growth Of HCMC

Population and economic growth have a closely dialectic relationship, in which they support and promote each other. To obtain economic growth, on one hand, the first step is to affect human resources which are closely related with population change. On the other hand, the ultimate goal of planning for economic-social development is to increase people's life quality. That goal can be achieved with the size, growth rate, population distribution and human resources which are consistent with every local economy. As the population and working labor, especially labor who have highly technical competences scale up quickly, there would be more products and accordingly increasing the GDP value. As a result, the economic growth rate would be high and be maintained within many years. The relationship between population change and economic growth is also described by other quantitative ratios such as labor productivity, capital investment for one labor unit, income and residential expenditures, etc. Consequentially, determining the relationship between population change and economic growth is an objective requirement in achieving the goal of planning for economic-social development of HCMC.
