If a population has abudant space and foor, and is protected from predators and disease, then organisms in that population will multiply and the population size will increase.
Malthus
The increase in population size brings about food and water shortages, limits in housing spaces, gives rise to health problems and most of all it hastens environmental degradation and sometimes contributes to natural calamities such as floods and landslides. As mentioned earlier when the population size has increased to a point where the natural resources of the place can no longer adequately meet the basic Needs of the people, the condition is known as overpopulation
Early marriage can contribute to population growth by increasing the likelihood of individuals having children at a younger age, leading to a longer period of fertility and potentially more children over a woman's reproductive lifespan. Additionally, early marriage often limits access to education and family planning services, which can further contribute to higher fertility rates and population growth.
The Club of Rome is a think tank that published a report in 1972 called "The Limits to Growth," which proposed that unchecked population growth and resource depletion would lead to catastrophic consequences. The report suggested that sustainable development was necessary to address these challenges and emphasized the importance of balancing economic growth with environmental protection. Although criticized for its doomsday predictions, the report helped raise awareness about the need for sustainable practices.
A factor that limits the growth of a population.
Through a lack of land to grow food, and the increase in population there is a lack in food supply, leading to even more starvation death rates to rise, limiting the population growth
In a population without limits, there will be an increase in the population size. For that we will use the equation (dN/dt) = 1.0 N where N is the number of individuals in the population and (dN/dt) is the rate of change in the number of the population over time.
Shorter life expectancy, incurable disease, over population and not enough food can limit population growth
The types of population growth curves are exponential growth, logistic growth, and fluctuating growth. Exponential growth occurs when a population grows without limits, while logistic growth occurs when a population reaches its carrying capacity and stabilizes. Fluctuating growth involves irregular population increases and decreases over time.
The formula for population growth is based on the formula for interest. The formula is Final Population is equal to Initial Population multiplied by e raised to the power of the product of the rate of growth multiplied by the time of growth, or P(f) = P(o) * e ^ (rt).

It has to do with Natural selection and if the food is scarce then the population would die out and lead to extinction. So what limits the growth of populations is the food supply.
the number of hamburgers available from McDonalds greatly limits the population.
If a population has abudant space and foor, and is protected from predators and disease, then organisms in that population will multiply and the population size will increase.
The Limits to Growth was created in 2004.
