Population growth has actually been declining and numerous studies have shown that the human population will pique at 10 billion in the next couple of decades. The reason why Malthusian theory has failed to be true has been the idea of demographic transition. Demographic transition is the decline of the rate of growth of the human population in industrialized societies. This is due to an increased income so parents do not need to create children for additional labor. The decline is also due to the increase in cultural value to invest more in one child than to have many children. As more women had the opportunity to have a quality education they were less inclined to have children. Another reason is in industrialized countries there are advancements in contraceptive technology to prevent unwanted childbirth.
