(Malthusian population theory) T.R. Malthus observed that the population grows geometrically while food resources increase arithmetically. He predicted that due to the insufficiency of food production in relation to the growing population, issues such as hunger, disease, death, and wars could arise. In this context, Malthus believed that the persistence of poverty was inevitable and that improving the economic situation of the poor would exacerbate the problem by increasing birth rates. Malthus proposed a solution of population control policies.
