What are the benefits of a growing population?

Is there a way to increase the importance of a larger population by adjusting some data files?

Everyone has their opinion as to what they would like to improve or enhance, mine are improved politics and a better intelligence
interface.

Pop Modifier 1 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 100
Pop Modifier 2 Population Amount := 499
Pop Modifier 2 Production Modifier Percent := 105
