Increasing importance has been placed upon population and population growth over the course of the past few centuries. Scientists are frenetically searching for the solution to this issue‚ and their outcomes are bleak. They are telling the world that if population growth does not slow‚ the earth will swell to a capacity too large to sustain itself and the conclusion will be apocalyptic. Explanations are numerous‚ however viable solutions are difficult to find. Adherents to the Malthusian theory

For this individual project‚ I chose population as my topic of economic concern. This economic concern effect several countries in the world today. A large population produces a large labor force which will in turn produce more total production. With a fixed amount of assets and an increasing labor force‚ the amount of assets per worker will be less. With fewer assets‚ production output per worker will be less because the worker won’t have enough equipment and machines to use. This demonstrates

common models of population growth is the exponential model. These models use functions of the torm p(t) : po€rt‚ wherep6 is the initial population and r > 0 is the rate constant. Because exponential models describe unbounded growth‚ they are unrealistic over long periods of time. Due to shortages of space and resources‚ all populations must eventually have decreasing grovtrth rates. Logistic growth models allow for exponential growth when the population is small. However‚ as the population approaches
