population growth
'das Bevölkerungswachstum' and 'die Bevölkerungsentwicklung' both have to do with changes in the number of inhabitants. 'Bevölkerungswachstum' only means that the number of people is increasing. 'Bevölkerungsentwicklung' is broader: the population can grow, shrink, or change in its composition, for example through births, deaths, or immigration. The words are easy to confuse because growth can be part of development. If it is really about more people, 'Bevölkerungswachstum' fits. If you are describing the overall change, 'Bevölkerungsentwicklung' is more natural.
