Economic growth refers to the continuous transformation of a country's economic conditions towards a better level over a specific period. This change occurs when the level of economic activity increases beyond previous achievements, where economic growth refers to the long-term increase in output per capita. The research method used is descriptive, aiming to analyze the relationship between the population size and economic growth in Sragen Regency. A secondary data analysis approach is used to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variables in the studied area without field data collection, relying instead on secondary data as the primary source of information. The objectives of the research are to analyze the population size in relation to economic growth in Sragen Regency, and to analyze the impact of population growth on economic growth in Sragen Regency. The results of the study on the population size and its effect on economic growth in Sragen Regency are as follows: The increase in population has a positive and significant contribution to economic development in the region, indicating that economic growth in Sragen Regency will be driven by an increase in the population size. However, the increase in population density has a significant negative impact on economic growth in the region, suggesting that a surge in population density will lead to a slowdown in economic growth in the area.
