Immigration counts were available to subtract from natural rates of population growth, thus revealing net reproductive growth. Malthus observed that under such ideal conditions, during each 25 years the human population tends to double. So if world population is represented by 1, then after each 25 years it would be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on, provided there were no limits on such "natural" rates of population increase. Food. To learn how fast people might produce food, Malthus examined agriculture in several countries, and made a rough estimate: all food produced could increase each 25 years by at most the ... of its social organization, its power relative to other human societies, its marital and reproductive practices, and its institutions of socialization. Economists point to four stages in the "demographic transition." In preindustrial societies high death rates balance high birthrates, ensuring steady population. In the second stage---early industrial development---better health lowers death rates, so birthrates appear excessive, and population spurts upward. Since Malthus collected his data in such an ...
