Malthuses theory about development

Thomas Malthus in the late 18th century, posits that population growth tends to outpace the growth of resources, leading to various social, economic, and environmental challenges. While Malthus primarily focused on the implications for food production and population growth, his theory has been applied more broadly in the context of development.

Boserup

She argued that as populations grow, societies innovate and adopt more intensive agricultural techniques to increase food production and meet the growing demand. Boserup challenged Thomas Malthus's pessimistic view that population growth inevitably leads to food shortages and famine. Instead, she emphasized the role of human ingenuity and adaptation in addressing the challenges of increasing population pressure.
