If the population of a country rises significantly while its Real GDP remains constant, it means there is no increase in the total output or economic value. Therefore, there is neither absolute economic growth (which refers to an increase in the total output of the economy) nor per-capita real economic growth (which refers to an increase in the economic output per individual). Absolute economic growth requires an increase in Real GDP, and per-capita real economic growth requires an increase in Real GDP per person, neither of which occurs in this scenario.
