Malthus's Principles of Populations was an important work in the fields of economics, geography, and biology. It mainly discussed population growth, population size, population structure, population cost, and population decision-making. The main content of the book included the following aspects: The basic principle of population growth: Malthus believed that population growth was driven by biological and economic principles. The basic law was that "population growth rate is equal to population quality growth rate plus mortality rate", that is, the population will increase over time. 2. The influence of population: Malthus believed that population had an important impact on economic development, resource allocation, social stability and other aspects. He pointed out that excessive population growth would lead to a shortage of resources, insufficient food supply, insufficient labor force, and other problems, which would lead to social instability. 3. Analysis of the population structure: Malthus believed that the changes in the population structure also had certain laws through the analysis of historical data. He believed that the increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population would lead to a shortage of labor and thus affect economic growth. At the same time, the increase in the proportion of young people in the population could promote economic growth and social progress. 4. Analysis of population cost: Malthus analyzed the concept of population cost, namely the cost of population management and maintenance. He believed that population costs, including social protection, education, medical care, housing, and other costs, would increase with social and economic development. 5. Analysis of population decision-making: Malthus believed that population decision-making was also an important issue. He put forward the concept of "population policy", which meant that the government could influence the population size, structure, and cost by formulating relevant policies. Malthus's Principles of Populations had a profound impact on the development of modern economics, geography, biology and other fields.
