ABSTRACT
The subject matter of this research is the
effect of rapid population growth on the Nigeria economy a case study of Esan
Central Local Government Area. The main objective of the research work is to
enable us know the effects of rapid population on the economy. The research
methodology, both primary and secondary data were used. The data were presented
and analyzed. Information was discovered in the course of study that Nigeria
population today is very youthful; this is due to high fertility rate in Nigeria.
It is recommended that government should enact into law the minimum age at

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Many
people believe that it is a law of nature that all population at all time and
place tend to go on expanding until they react the limits of subsistence. In

growth he argued that human being like plant and animals are forced to increase
their population by the urge to reproduce. If there are no constraint on this
propensity to reproduce human being will continue to increase their
appreciation.
Population
problems are both married and far reaching in their effect the efforts of
economic growth will be mollified if population has an increase at an even more
rapid rate more specifically. This chapter is an attempt to show that rapid
growth in population has an adverse effect on Nigeria economy a case study of
Esan Central Local Government.
