Population growth rate
Ms. Sue
Ahh! That makes your question clear!
A high population growth rate usually results in higher poverty. Food, services, and employment becomes scarcer.

So it would be a bad thing because of all the people needing supplies?
Ms. Sue
We can't make such a definite statement. In a few places, there's plenty of food and employment. In general, though, a high rate of population growth is not healthy for a country.
