They need not. For example, during the same time frame, advances in farming have radically changed how food is produced, massively increasing the amount of food that can be produced in that land.
Pre-industrialization, most civilized countries required 50% of their population to be farmers in order to produce enough food. Now that number is about 1%.
Things change.

Naturally this amount will increase exponentialy if the growth rate remains constant.
