When population of a particular country rises in the manner of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. This is explained by Thomas Robert Malthus as : |
Geometric progression Demographic progression Arithmetic progression Population progression |
Geometric progression |
As per Malthus, population rises in geometric progression (i.e., like 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc.), agricultural production can only grow in arithmetic progression (i.e., like 2,4, 6, 8, 10 etc.). |
