Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in the number of people' is directly and compositionally derived from 'population' (people in an area) plus 'growth' (increase), following a common noun-noun compounding pattern. This literal, cross-linguistically frequent construction is readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Population growth gives a simple picture: the population, the group of people, gets bigger over time, like a town that keeps adding houses and families, so growth here means the number of people rises, or 'an increase in the number of people'.
