Early marriage can contribute to population growth by increasing the likelihood of individuals having children at a younger age, leading to a longer period of fertility and potentially more children over a woman's reproductive lifespan.

This is an equation I've never seen before, but in all honesty with 50% of all marriages ending in divorce - if both people agree that using contraception is a positive thing for their relationship - then I will guess 40% vs 60% of people who disagree about using contraception. Most people find having children adds a ton of stress to their marriage, if the marriage is floundering adding children to the mix usually doesn't help a marriage in trouble. A marriage that is strong and healthy may be better equipped to deal with the stress.
