Abstract
A cautionary attitude has emerged in population research which equates population growth with a decline in economic development. This attitude is supported by linear and log-linear models of population growth that consistently reveal correlations between economics and population, while ignoring multivariate methods that may reveal more complex relationships between these two variables. A modeling technique is called for that would be able to account for all the variables that concern both demography and economic sufficiency.
