History of South America

Which factor did not contribute to the growth of Souths population during 1970s?

The correct answer is: The oil bust.

The growth of the South's population during the 1970s was due to several factors, including the region's warm climate, low cost of living, and expanding job opportunities. The oil bust, which occurred in the late 1970s and early 1980s, caused a decline in the growth of the South's population as people left the region in search of jobs.
