Critiques of Malthusian Population Trap (A Perspective of Islamic Economics)

KnE Social Sciences / The 2nd International Conference on Islamic Economics, Business, and Philanthropy (2nd ICIEBP) / Pages 525–535

Abstract

An essay of a pastor and political economics expert Thomas Robert Malthus in 1978 concerning the population principles explained that the rate of population growth was measured by geometrical progression (1,2,4,8, and so on) while the rate of food production growth was measured by arithmetic progression(1,2,3,4, and so on). The essay implied, that there will be a situation where the amount of food or resources will not be sufficient to meet the human needs. Another effect is poverty which will obstruct the economic development. Islamic economics contradicts the theory of Malthusian Population Trap and views population growth as something suggested.
