Demographic transition model

• What is stage 1 of demographic transition called?

  High stationary
• What are the birth and death rates like in stage 1 of the demographic transition?

  Birth and death rates are both high.
• What is stage 2 of demographic transition called?

  Early expanding
• How do birth and death rates change in stage 2 of demographic transition?

  Birth rates remain high while death rates begin to fall.
• What is stage 3 of demographic transition called?

  Late expanding
• Why is stage 3 called "late expanding" in demographic transition?

  Because both birth and death rates are falling, leading to a slower population growth
• What is stage 4 of demographic transition called?

  Low stationary
• What is the potential stage 5 of demographic transition?

  Declining
• Why might stage 5 of demographic transition be called "Declining"?

  Because birth rates fall below death rates, resulting in a population decline
• What is the term for the difference between the birth and death rates in a population?

  Natural increase
• What are the characteristics of birth, death rates, and natural increase in stage 1 of demographic transition?

  • High birth rate
  • High death rate
  • Stable or slow natural increase
• How does Brazil's birth rate compare in stage 3?

  Falling
• What are the characteristics of birth, death rates, and natural increase in stage 4 of demographic transition?

  • Low birth rate
  • Low death rate
  • Stable or slow natural increase
• What does a natural increase of "Very rapid increase" in stage 2 indicate?

  High birth rate and rapidly falling death rates lead to a large population increase
• What does it mean when the natural increase "Increase slows down" in stage 3?

  Both birth and death rates decrease, reducing the natural increase
• What does the axis labeled "Total population" represent in the demographic transition model?

  The total number of people in a population over time
• What are the characteristics of birth, death rates, and natural increase in stage 5 of demographic transition?

  • Very low birth rate
  • Low death rate
  • Slow decrease in natural increase
