Question

What are the Malthusiann theory of population growth? What are its limitations?

Answer 1

. Population Control

Malthus then argued that because there will be higher population than the availability of food, many people will die from the shortage of food. He theorized that this correction will take place in the form of Positive Checks (or Natural Checks) and Preventative Checks. These checks would lead to the Malthusian catastrophe, which would bring the population level back to a ‘sustainable level’.
