- Little taxes / revenue is collected hence low investment by the government to spar economic growth.
- Under utilization of resources such as schools /
- hospitals hence it becomes expensive for the government to run them.
- Limited investment in a country as small number of people discourage investors from setting up industries in a country / market for finished products.
- Reduced market for both agricultural /
- industrial goods necessitating a country to export her goods which may face stiff competition earning little revenue.
- Small labor force which may force a country to import labor that sometimes maybe expensive.
- Expensive supply of resources such as electricity / water / roads / schools / hospitals to sparsely populated areas.
- Defenselessness as slow population growth rate makes a country vulnerable to attacks/ provocations by other countries.
