Does the cyclical variations of the population occur in rhythm with economic variation?

Question

The case of Zambia

Answer 1

The birth rates shows variation with economic variations but only in subsistence level economies is the death rate effected. The population numbers are not very sensitive to short term variations in birth rates, so as a general rule I would say not much. However in the past there has been population crashes in some countries. see china on graph at
