Answer 1

Most of the poorer countries are agriculture or manufacturing based economies.

So in these people’s minds it goes like this; more people= more hands to work on field/factories

They don’t consider one important factor; more people= more mouths to feed+ more clothes to buy + more expenses of health, etc
