What moves on the Solow-Swan Growth Model diagram
Higher n steepens (n+δ)k: more investment is needed just to maintain k, so steady-state capital per worker falls.
Break-even investment covers wear-and-tear AND equipping new workers.
Faster population growth steepens that line.
More saving now goes to standing still; k* falls. More people, same machines, thinner capital each.
Examiners ask this as: population growth dilution, capital per worker falls.
