Abstract
The research on “population pressure and social- economic development
In Uganda” was conducted in Kisenyi parish Kampala central. The study
was guided by three objectives which included; to examine how high birthrates
affect economic development in Kampala city, To find out the causes of high
birthrates in Kisenyi Kampala city and to establish ways of curbing high
birthrates in Kampala city.
This study employed the descriptive survey design. Descriptive studies are non
experimental researches that describe the characteristics of a particular
individual, or of a group. No other method of observation will be providing this
general capability. Consequently, very large samples are feasible, making the
results statistically significant even when analyzing multiple variables. Many
questions will be asked about a given topic giving considerable flexibility to the
analysis.The finding of the study support the existence of a long—run relationship
between population and economic growth in Kisenyi and provide strong
support for the hypothesis that population is driving economic growth in
Kisenyi. The results of causality tests suggest that there appears to be bi
directional causality when causality is assumed to run from population to
economic growth or from economic growth to population growth. Overall, the
relationship between population and economic growth is strong and positive in
Kisenyi over the period of analysisThese findings give support to the population driven economic growth
hypothesis that states that the population growth in a Kisenyi’s promotes its
economic development.
