Expert Solution

a) Malthus predicted that the population of an economy should be stable in the long run. its false, because according to malthus  population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply is linear. population will grow in geometric progression while food supply will grow at arithmetic progression so the population is not stable rather its increasing.

b) Poor countries have not experienced a demographic transition. the statement is false because in demographic transition there different phases like high birth high death rate, high birth low death rate and low birth low death rate. so every country in the world after the progression of science and technology have experienced some phases of demographic transition. so its impossible that the poor countries have not experienced any transition.

c) Improvement in GDP per capita of a country should result in lower number of missing women. its an uncertain situation because there is no gurantee that an improved gdp will lead to sefety of women.
