A population refers to a group of individuals of the same group or species living and interbreeding within a given area. Population growth is defined as the change in the number of individuals in a population in an area over time.
Growth rate = Birth rate – Death rate + Immigration rate – Emigration rate
Key Points
  • In the year 1798, Malthus, a British economist, proposed a hypothesis of human population growth. Population growth is geometric, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8,  however food supply for subsistence is arithmetic, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • Malthusian Theory of Population, given by Thomas Robert Malthus, is a theory of arithmetic growth of food supply and of exponential population.
  • Malthus believed that positive and preventive checks are necessary to make the right balance between the supply of food and the growth in the population
  • Neo Malthusians are those who criticize Malthus's insistence on moral restraints as the preventive check to population growth but accept and support many of his arguments.
  • Neo Malthusian term was first used in 1877 by Dr. Samwel Van Houten who was the vice president of the Malthusian League.

Hence, the correct answer is (A), (B), (C) only.
