Poverty and population growth Population dynamics and trends can have a huge impact on poverty reduction and long-term development prospects. Population dynamics, such as population growth, age structure, and rural-urban distribution, both influence and are influenced by poverty.
Poverty and backwardness are also thought to be factors in rapid population growth because the impoverished and those in rural areas may lack knowledge of contraceptive methods and lack the financial means to purchase them. In rural backward communities, population management equipment may be difficult to get, leaving them unable to regulate birth. As a result, poverty and backwardness are thought to be a factor in population increase.
