Scenarios about 'population growth'
The demographic phenomenon characterized by an increase in the number of individuals within a population over time, typically measured as the rate at which populations expand through natural increase and migration. Population growth has profoundly shaped human history through its impacts on resource consumption, economic development, urbanization, environmental changes, and geopolitical power dynamics. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of population growth can dramatically alter the development of civilizations, resource conflicts, and the global balance of power.
