In Nigeria the argument is relevant because is for reducing the family size. According to Malthusians theory there are two ways of controlling population these are ;prevention and positive checks.prevention here means controll in Birth Rate, and the use of different methods to control birth while positive checks means natural calamities like war e.t.c. to match the available resources for supporting the individuals.
This agree to Malthus argument that there should be a balance between population growth and the means of production.
can you say that malthusian population theory is relevant to Nigerian,using the 2006 population census?
One strength of Malthus's demographic theory is its focus on the relationship between population growth and available resources, highlighting the potential for environmental constraints on human populations. Additionally, it provides a framework for understanding the imbalance that can occur between population increase and food supply, leading to discussions on sustainability and resource management.
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.
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.
Optimum theory proposes that there is an ideal population size that maximizes societal welfare and economic efficiency, whereas Malthusian theory posits that population growth will outstrip resources leading to famine and suffering unless controlled by preventive checks (like war, disease, or lack of resources) or positive checks (like famine, disease, or war). Optimum theory focuses on the balance between population and resources for societal well-being, while Malthusian theory highlights the consequences of unchecked population growth.
The Malthusian theory suggests that population growth will outstrip food supply, leading to resource scarcity and social collapse. In contrast, the demographic transition theory explains how populations stabilize as societies transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates due to economic and social development.
because people cant count!!;D lololololololololol get over it:)
The Anti-Malthusian theory is the idea that survival supplies will not run scarce and the population of the world will control itself naturally.
He was a scientist who explained the malthusian theory
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.
