Population and Economic Growth Loop : As employment opportunities increase in a city, people are attracted into the urban area. However, in-migrants do not immediately swarm to employment opportunities in the area. Since migrants react to perceived opportunity, the lag in acquiring information may cause 5 to 20 year delay in response. Population growth from the influx of migrants tends to encourage business expansion in the growing urban area. The additional economical expansion creates demand for additional labor. This demand further increases employment opportunities in the area. Population and Land Use Loop : While tending to reinforce economic growth, population growth tends to drive housing construction at a greater pace to match population growth. Assuming only a fixed amount of land available for industrial and housing use, increasing the housing stock makes less land available for business expansion. As the unavailability of more land begins to suppress business expansion in the area, the demand for labour decreased. Consequently, local employment opportunities decline. Once potential migrants perceive the lack of opportunities, declining in-migration generates a reduction in the population growth of the area. Instructions: Draw causal loop diagrams for the 2 scenarios. Nb: Using either notepad/word etc.(not hand drawn)
