Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the relationship between population growth and economic development in Nigeria from 1981 to 2011. Nigeria, as one of the most populous countries in Africa, has experienced significant population growth over the past few decades. This study seeks to analyze the impact of this population growth on the country's economic development during the period under consideration. The research will utilize secondary data collected from various sources, including the National Bureau of Statistics, World Bank, and other relevant publications. Key economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and poverty levels will be analyzed in relation to population growth rates over the study period. Various statistical methods, including regression analysis, will be employed to examine the relationship between population growth and economic development in Nigeria. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of population growth and economic development in Nigeria. Understanding the relationship between these two factors is crucial for policymakers and stakeholders to formulate effective strategies for sustainable development in the country. By identifying the impact of population growth on key economic indicators, this research aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the subject and provide recommendations for future policy interventions. Overall, this research study seeks to shed light on the complex interplay between population growth and economic development in Nigeria. By examining historical data from 1981 to 2011, this study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the trends and patterns in population growth and their implications for economic development. The findings of this research will have important implications for policymakers, economists, and other stakeholders involved in shaping Nigeria's development trajectory in the coming years.

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY</strong></p><p>Over the years if has become established that the existence of an efficient human capital is the key to economic growth and development in any nation. This seems from the fact that every other facility and resources required for economic development is driven by the availability of human capital. More so, in the absence of effective human capital development, an increasing population can have adverse negative effect on the economic growth of a nation. This is because a lot more resources are taken out to manage and cater for the teeming population that the same can generate.</p><p>It is therefore correct to state that the economic growth of a nation is significantly dependent on the growth of its population. This effect or impact can be either negative or positive depending at the existence of certain factors and conditions, when studied and understood can be managed or controlled to ensure continuous and sustainable economic growth and development. Meier (1984).</p><p>Economic development and growth depend on many factors or variables. These variables include variable resources, capital, population and technology. Development is also dependent on growth. Lipase (1963).</p> <br><p></p>
