Malthusian Theory of Population relates the exponential growth in population to the arithmetic growth of the supply of food.
Explanation:
- Malthus believed that with the exponential growth of population, it will outgrow the food supply needed to sustain this population and hence people will die of starvation.
- His two main characteristics were that the population grew in regards to the geometric progression and the food supply grew in regards to the arithmetic progression.
- Hence he concluded that the population is going to increase faster than food.
- He presented certain checks to regulate the population and result in a Malthusian Catastrophe. These checks were positive checks and preventive checks.
