Require food, health, education , housing, water
Less money to be used for industry and agriculture
Large family valuable? Can work on land.
Will eventually mean there is a large working population as it enters the economically active age group from 15-64
Contribute money as taxes which can improve quality of life.
However if their are few employment opportunities the unemployment rate will be high.
Government and individuals will have little money so low quality of life.
When the large group of people this age get old, more problems will be caused.
