Solution
According to Thomas Malthus’ Theory of Population Growth (1798), population expands exponentially while food supply increases arithmetically. Unchecked inequalities can lead to starvation, illness, and conflict, limiting population expansion. Malthus proposed preventive measures such as delayed marriage and moral restraint to avoid crises.
