Malthus theory of population is regarded as a core in population issues, which had created a pessimistic view on population and its impact on economy, while Malthus theory were challenged by many and specially by Verlhurst, which the latter theory actually outmoded Malthus’ and gained replacement, it is wondering how in the annals of science the Verlhurst theory is forbidden and how there is a consistent acknowledgment of failed pessimistic view of Malthus on population. In this respect, this paper tries to reconsider Malthus and Neo-Malthusian views on population. And also, neglected Verlhust view from a limited institutional approach.

The view which in recent years gained wide acceptance and their followers are expanding rapidly in various academies, Research used method. In this study is descriptive and authors purposes a reconsideration long growth positive effects of population rather than short run negative effects in economic planning. |
