Explanation of Solution
Population growth is the major problem that is mainly concerned with reducing resources on the Earth. Dr. Thomas Robert Malthus predicted that the rate of population growth is greater than the rate of the Earth to renew these resources. The reduced resources on the Earth lead to the crisis such as starvation and famine and death due to diseases. These resource crises also create conflict over the resources among the population. Dr. Malthus suggested that the practice of moral restrain by women can solve the problem of population and help to maintain the resources on the Earth.
