Does population affect production?

Does a planet population size increase do anything other than make your planet garrison larger.

Basically does a class 12 planet packed full of factories but only 5 billion people produce the same # of shields as the same planet with 12 billion?

I have a suspicion that population indeed affects income, so I wont ask about that...

But, kind of on the subject, does Economy bonuses affect just money, or all resources, like Economy starbase upgrades?

Only facilities and bonuses affect production directly. Population directly affects income, so in the long run, you can buy production.
