Overpopulation - Kajoujinkou

Japanese: 過剰人口 - かじょうじんこう

A state in which the population is too large for the economic carrying capacity (optimal population) of a certain area. When the population as a whole exceeds the possible support capacity (food or national income that can be converted into food), it is called absolute surplus population (Malthus), and when there are not enough employment opportunities, such as the unemployment caused by the advancement of the organic composition of capital under the capitalist social system, it is called relative surplus population (Marx). →Industrial reserve army →Related topics Population explosion | Population theory
