In the world‚ we live in today‚ population has grown at an increasing rate. I hypothesize that population growth will continue to climb in underdeveloped countries.

Thomas Robert Malthus’ perspective on population growth is peculiar today because it is different‚ bold‚ and not widely accepted. While I do not agree with all of Malthus’ opinions and conclusion on reproductive health I think he had some valuable points.
