a

Answer to Question 2

More recently, neo-Malthusians (or new Malthusians) have reemphasized the dangers

of overpopulation. To neo-Malthusians, Earth is a dying planet with too many people

and too little food, and the food shortage is compounded by environmental degradation.

Overpopulation and rapid population growth result in global environmental problems,

ranging from global warming and rain-forest destruction to famine and vulnerability to

epidemics. Unless significant changes are made, including improving the status of

women, reducing racism and religious prejudice, reforming the agriculture system, and

shrinking the growing gap between rich and poor, the consequences will be dire. Early

neo-Malthusians published birth control handbooks, and widespread acceptance of birth

control eventually reduced the connection between people's sexual conduct and

fertility. Later neo-Malthusians have encouraged people to be part of the solution to the

problem of overpopulation by having only one or two children in order to bring about

zero population growththe point at which no population increase occurs from year to

year because the number of births plus immigrants is equal to the number of deaths

plus emigrants.
