Unit 2 – Population and Migration
Topic 2.6
What is the key concept of the Neo-Malthusians' perspective on population growth?
They discount the impact of technological developments on agricultural productivity entirely.
They argue that human innovation can indefinitely sustain an increasing population.
They believe in controlling population through methods like contraception to prevent overpopulation problems predicted by Malthus from occurring.
They emphasize natural checks like famine and disease as the primary controlling factor of population size rather than preventative checks such as contraception or postponement of marriage age .
