This research attempts to shed light on the issue of growing or uncontrolled
population growth, especially from the point of view of Robert Maltus as one of the
inhabitants who left their silence in this area. This study also addresses several key
aspects:
First, the reasons behind population growth such as migration, low mortality due to
improved health care, attention to women's reproductive health and availability of
medication. Second: the relationship between both the population increase and the food
problem, from the point of view of Maltos, who believes that there is a direct relationship
between the two variables, the more the population has worsened the problem of food.
Thirdly, reference is made to the main effects that unbalanced population growth may have
on the environment on the one hand, such as continued logging, population expansion, the
need for fresh drinking water, pollution of air, water, soil, and the inability to absorb waste.
On the social side, poverty, unemployment and the low social level, . The most prominent
solutions presented by Maltos to solve the population problem include ethical barriers and
natural contraindications. Fifth: To review some attitudes on the population issue such as
the theory of Thomas Sadler, James Stewart, Herbert Spencer, Karl Marx, and to indicate
the extent of intersection or difference with the theory of Maltos.
