Malthus's population theory, also known as population genetics or demography, was one of the most important theories in the field of economics and social science. This theory was proposed by the early 20th century by the mathematician Malthus to explain the relationship between population growth and resource allocation. Malthus's population theory believed that population growth was the culprit of resource allocation. As the population increased, the amount of food, land, and resources needed also increased, but the supply was limited. Therefore, over time, population growth will force resources to be allocated to a larger population size, causing population growth to accelerate until there is eventually overpopulation and collapse. Malthus's population theory also emphasized the impact of population growth on the economy. He believed that population growth would increase labor productivity and the potential for economic growth because more labor could lead to more production and consumption. But when population growth outpaces economic growth, economic growth will become unsustainable because the total amount of resources needed has increased to the point where it cannot support a higher rate of economic growth. Therefore, Malthus's population theory proposed an equation about population, resource allocation, and economic growth: population x economic growth rate = resource allocation. This equation described the relationship between population growth and resource allocation, as well as the impact of population growth on the economy.
