The optimum
population theory is based on certain assumptions which are as follows:
·
The theory assums that there is a direct relation between the
average production of labour and per capita income. The proportion of working
population to the total population remains unchanged in a country. This means
that any change in the average productivity will introduces, the same change in
per capita national income.
·
The theory assumes that after a certain point, the law of
diminishing returans operates in the field of production. The natural
resources, amount of capital and technical know-how remains unchanged at a
particular time in a country whenever population increases.
