Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how population growth, coupled with the demand for resources, has been a topic of debate in recent years. It assesses the beliefs of the natural philosopher Thomas Malthus. It also discusses the theories presented by Neo-Malthusians and the demographic transition model. Finally it looks at caring capacity and China's one child policy.From the Paper:
"Neo Malthusians believe that an increase in population growth in undeveloped countries decreases the standard of living because resources must be drawn away from investments in industry in order to care for the expanding population. (Neo Malthusian) They contend that increases in population will eventually degrade environmental resources leading to devastation. The neo Malthusians also believe that the increased use of fertilizers and overuse of fragile land will eventually deplete the earth's resources."More papers on Malthus and Neo-Malthusians:
