5 PHASES OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
MALTHUSIAN
• Proposed by Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 – 1834)
• A theory about economic growth which depends on
the rate of the population of a certain area
• The economic growth is inversely proportional to
the population. The smaller population, the higher
the economic growth and vice versa.
MALTHUS THEORY
GOVERNMENT – LED ( LOCAL ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT)

allows and encourages local people to work together
to achieve sustainable economic growth and
development.
• Support the formation of a partnership between
local and national institutions towards strategic
implementations.
A LA KUZNETS (GOVERNMENT VS. ENVIRONMENT)

and is weakly dependent in GDP.
