Demographic characteristics of the population of Rabia district from the perspective of sustainable development
Abstract
Plato was the first to address the issue of population. He believed that the size of the population should be proportional to the geographical area and the community's defense needs. According to his perspective. the ideal city size should be small. and its population size should remain constant. On the other hand. Aristotle emphasized the need to limit population growth. He argued that an increase in population size relative to the area would lead to the spread of poverty due to the expansion of land use. Population studies are crucial in today's world. especially in the fields of social and natural sciences. To achieve the study's goals in this area. researchers must rely on population statistical data. which serves as the primary material for scientific methodology. Understanding the current population reality and predicting future trends are priorities for economic. social. and educational planning. including workforce planning.
