Thanks for engaging with the report. I’ll offer a response since Tapinder’s summer fellowship has ended and I was her manager during the project. I’ve made a general comment in response to Tristan that applies here too.
On your comment specifically, the “malthusian trap” is empirically not always supported. A population can approach or be at its carrying capacity and still have adequate resources, for instance if they simply do not reproduce as much due to less resource surplus.
