Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neo-Malthusians believe that population growth is the root cause of poverty, and therefore, the solution lies in controlling population growth through measures such as birth control. Increasing the world population (A) would only exacerbate the problem, while increasing taxes on the rich and increasing social programs (B) may alleviate poverty in the short term but will not address the long-term issue of population growth. Educating poor people (D) is important but will not necessarily address the issue of population growth.
