II. The problem of study: The researchers suggest that dualism in villages’ socio-economic structure in Egypt is likely to bring different responses of rural population when they are exposed to same program or project of development. So far, it is not clear to what extent is this hypothesis valid to consider at both theoretical and empirical levels.

Malthus was the first to present a formal socioeconomic analysis of the population growth potential in terms of the availability of resources. Concisely,…
