can you say that malthusian population theory is relevant to Nigerian,using the 2006 population census?
what are the strength of malthusian theory of population
The Malthusian Trap is the theory that, as population growth is ahead of agricultural growth, there must be a stage at which the food supply is inadequate for feeding the population.
In relation to developing countries, the criticisms of Malthusian Theory state that if you combine a high rate of growth with a high level of poverty, those countries can expect famine and disasters. Uganda is one country that is often used as an example of this theory.

malthusian theory-it is general theory of population.optimum theory- it is a scientific theory of population.malthusian theoryit is static in nature.optimum theoryit is dynamic in nature
Malthusian theory of population is based on food supply with population growth that is whereas population is growing at a geometrical progression food supply on the hand is at arithmetic progression whiel on the other hand geographic transition theory is based on birth rates and death rates the theory says that population cycle begins with a fall in death rates ,continues with a phase of rapid population growth and concluding with a decline in the birth rates.
The Anti-Malthusian theory is the idea that survival supplies will not run scarce and the population of the world will control itself naturally.
He was a scientist who explained the malthusian theory
A neo malthusian is somebody of malthus beliefs neomalthusians on population growth and control the neo-malthusian theorists may be presented as a splinter group. essentially they agree with malthus that control of population is inevitable. however they disagree with malthus that factors like war and famine are the key to population control and reject such simplistic notions. instead they promote a number of ideals for exapmle planned parenthood as a method of population control.

The Malthusian Theory has been criticized by a number of people. These criticism are based on the grounds that Malthus' pessimistic conclusion were not a part of Western European countries, it is based on law of diminishing returns and it is also compared with increase in food production.
Malthusian theory in which people multiply will grow at a rate faster than resources. He believed that there are natural checks on the human population like disease, natural disasters, and war in order to maintain social order and keep the human race from dying out from not having enough resources. Based on this theory no action from any party or institution to prevent mass catastrophes or disasters from effecting certain populations because those proportions of the population need to die off in order for the rest of the population to live and have enough resources to survive. One of the counters of Malthusian theory is that the world population is actually leveling off because of demographic transition. Demographic transition states that with greater wealth and education the birth rate decreases. Malthus also doesn't recognize the role of technology, efficiency, and human ingenuity as a factor that overcomes the problem of scarce resources.
