EXPLANATION: As a result of industrialization, the family became the: chief unit of consumption only The European family was passing from being the chief unit of both production and consumption to becoming the chief unit of consumption alone. This development did not mean the end of the family as an economic unit. Parents and children, however, now came to depend on sharing wages often derived from several sources, rather than on sharing work in the home or factory. © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

© 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. EXPLANATION: The idea that population growth will always outstrip food supply was put forward by: Thomas Malthus In 1798, Malthus published the first edition of his Essay on the Principle of Population. His ideas have haunted the world ever since. He contended that population must eventually outstrip the food supply. Although the human population grows geometrically, the food supply can expand only arithmetically. There was little hope of averting the disaster, in Malthus’s opinion, except through late marriage, chastity, and contraception, the last of which he considered a vice. © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.
