Neo-Malthusianism  (NEO-MALTHUSIANISM)


The term Malthusianism1 denotes the doctrine that a check in the rate of population growth is desirable. Neo-Malthusianism2, whilst accepting the desirability of checking population growth, advocates that such restriction should be achieved through the use of birth control methods (624-3).

  • 1. Malthusianism n. — Malthusian n., one who accepts the doctrines of Malthus. The French term "malthusianisme" has acquired an extended meaning. It applies to any doctrine advocating a restriction in population growth, for whatever reason, and has even been used for economic restrictionism.
