This Insight is the second in a series of models that examine the dynamics of population growth and decline in a simple environment. The first model can be found here. It follows on from a series of four Insights that introduce the basic concepts of Systems Dynamics that start here.
The next Insight model refines the concept of carrying capacity by introducing dynamic resources that the population depends on to thrive. The model can be found here.
The models are based on the activities from an Open University short course that can be accessed here.
