Abstract
The relationship between demographic variables and economic growth has been studied extensively, revealing complex and varied interactions. This research aims to investigate the impact of demographic variables on economic growth in Dairi Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, during the period 2011-2022. We apply the multiple regression method to test its effect on economic growth. The research results show that population growth has a negative impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, the human development and labor force variables do not significantly impact economic growth. This finding indicates that a high population growth rate can reduce the economic growth of a country, especially in developing countries.
