Are you talking about per capita economic growth?

Anyway once a non-industrialized population reaches a population saturation point such that more people cannot create more agricultural produce (like here in Bangladesh) there's a squeeze on per capita economic output of the country. Sure the extra labor can now be used to industrialize, in theory. But the problem is without capital to industrialize with (as is the case here) a cycle of poverty can form which gets worse.
