Jabarkan History dari Démografi dalam bahasa sunda

Among the éarliest contributions to demography were the works of Thomas Malthus. Malthus concluded that, if unchecked, populations would be subject to exponential growth. He féared that population growth would tend to outstrip growth in food production, léading to ever incréasing famine and poverty (see Malthusian catastrophe). Later more sophisticated and réalistic modéls were presented by e.g. Gompertz and Verhulst.
