Population is directly related with the migration phenomenon and affects directly the economic growth and the social policy. There is a huge literature attempting to analyse and to estimate the effects from population growth and the relationship to economic growth and social development. This paper attempts to contribute on this matter. One of the main questions that will be addressed on this paper is how does economic development affect fertility choices and what are the main implications of population growth to economic development ? In particular, it will discuss the population growth in relation to migration and demographic phenomenon and also it will analyse the economic and social effects for the European member states.
