RELATIONSHIP AMONG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION MIGRATION AND POPULATION DEVELOPMENT IN BALI PROVINCE OF INDONESIA

Population development is a dynamic balance between addition and reduction in population. A large population for some circles is a positive thing, but there are also those who argue that this will add to the development burden. If reviewed regionally, additional population due to natural factors (births) is also caused by in-migration. Bali Province is a highly developed tourism sector, which attracts many residents outside Bali to migrate to Bali. But will the development of the population have an impact on economic development? The objectives of this research are: (1) to determine the impact of population migration on population development and economic development in Bali Province; (2) to determine the impact of population development on economic development in Bali Province; (3) to find out whether population development mediates the impact of population migration on economic development; and (4) to find out what efforts can be made to control the population in Bali Province.
