If a nation's population grows more quickly than its gross domestic product (GDP), the most likely outcome is:
There will be economic decline.
When the population grows faster than GDP, it usually means that the economy is not keeping pace with the number of people who need jobs, services, and resources. This can lead to higher unemployment, increased poverty, strain on infrastructure and public services, and overall economic instability. While other scenarios could occur, such as resource redistribution or innovation leading to economic adjustments, the fundamental concern is that standard of living may decline if economic growth does not support the growing population.
