Answer to Question 1

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, compounded by environmental degradation and overconsumption. 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.
