Answer 2

Answer:

false

Explanation:

The statement is false since:

Malthus believed that population would keep increasing steadily at such a rate that, the means of its very subsistence would fell short.

For it would be through war, disease, famine or a tragedy a way to return to the balance between the population growth and the actual number of resources to disposal.

Today we are witnessing the tremendous effect of overpopulation, which together with world migration and wars and displacements are causing a wave of people to settle in the countries that previously had low population density. Further social and ecological problems are posing threats to the life of many people to guarantee a standard of living and survival is kept.

Since Malthus say how exponential growth in population worldwide would need food and supplies that only increase arithmetically then a state of misery was to follow if nothing was planned to asses this situation.

There are only a few developed countries that have developed a social and economic structure capable of assuring the quality of life and survival for their citizens.
