Abstract

This discussion examines the changing relationships between population and development, and in the first stage it represents the quantitative aspects of population such as size, density and migration’s rate of growth in relation to the issue of nomadism, a matter which obviously plays a very important role in the level and nature of development in the region. In the second stage, the quality aspects of the population such as the role of human resources in the development process have been discussed. This section mainly focuses on health and education issues, but nowadays human rights issues receive greater attention. Finally, there is no solid evidence of a strong causal relationship between various factors of population and the level of development, but the continuation of this discussion shows what needs are to be met in order to improve the quality of life of the majority of people living in the developing world.
