The Malthusian Trap is the theory that, as population growth is ahead of agricultural growth, there must be a stage at which the food supply is inadequate for feeding the population.
Both Marxist and Malthusian theories are concerned with population growth and its impact on society, but they offer different perspectives on the issue. Both theories acknowledge that population growth can lead to resource scarcity and social problems. However, Marxist theory sees these issues as a result of unequal distribution of resources and production, while Malthusian theory focuses more on the limits of resources to support population growth.

Malthusian theory of population is based on food supply with population growth that is whereas population is growing at a geometrical progression food supply on the hand is at arithmetic progression whiel on the other hand geographic transition theory is based on birth rates and death rates the theory says that population cycle begins with a fall in death rates ,continues with a phase of rapid population growth and concluding with a decline in the birth rates.

A neo malthusian is somebody of malthus beliefs neomalthusians on population growth and control the neo-malthusian theorists may be presented as a splinter group. essentially they agree with malthus that control of population is inevitable. however they disagree with malthus that factors like war and famine are the key to population control and reject such simplistic notions. instead they promote a number of ideals for exapmle planned parenthood as a method of population control.
