title: [The effect of population growth on the economic development of Japan].
abstract: The author reviews research supporting and opposing the Malthusian view that the effect of population growth on per capita income in Japan has been negative.  Distinguishing between total population growth and the growth of the labor force, the author finds that "over the total period (1880-1970) population cum labor growth on average tended to make a positive contribution to per capita income growth."
