    This study introduces a new framework for evaluating social welfare changes due to population growth. It proposes a method to assess the impact of adding individuals on overall societal well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences
    • Economics
    • Welfare Economics

    Background:

    • Understanding the impact of population dynamics on social welfare is crucial for policy-making.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the nuanced effects of societal growth on well-being.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a general concept for value judgments regarding population changes and social welfare.
    • To introduce and discuss the replication invariance condition in welfare analysis.
    • To provide an axiomatic framework for welfare orderings.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduction of a novel concept for expressing value judgments on agent addition.
    • Discussion of the replication invariance condition.
    • Development of an axiomatic framework using generalized averaging of individual utilities.

    Main Results:

    • A conceptual tool for assessing the welfare impact of population increases.
    • Formalization of replication invariance in social welfare considerations.
    • An axiomatic basis for welfare orderings derived from individual utilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed framework offers a systematic approach to welfare economics concerning population changes.
    • The axiomatic structure provides a rigorous foundation for analyzing societal well-being.
    • Replication invariance is a key consideration for robust welfare assessments.
