2.5 The Demographic Transition Model

    Cards (42)

    • What is the Demographic Transition Model?
      Population transition theory
    • What are the birth and death rates like in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      High birth and death rates
    • What happens to population growth in the industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      Slow population growth
    • Order the four stages of the Demographic Transition Model.
      1️⃣ Pre-industrial
      2️⃣ Transitional
      3️⃣ Industrial
      4️⃣ Post-industrial
    • What causes rapid population growth in the transitional stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      Declining death rates
    • In the industrial stage, death rates remain low while birth rates begin to decline
    • The pre-industrial stage is characterized by high birth rates, high death rates, and slow population growth.

      True
    • What are the birth and death rates in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      High and high
    • In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates decline, leading to rapid population growth.

      True
    • In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low
    • Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model from earliest to latest.
      1️⃣ Pre-industrial
      2️⃣ Transitional
      3️⃣ Industrial
      4️⃣ Post-industrial
    • In the pre-industrial stage, birth and death rates are both high, resulting in slow population growth.

      True
    • In the transitional stage, death rates begin to decline
    • In the pre-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are high
    • In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
    • Match the stage of the Demographic Transition Model with its key characteristic:
      Pre-industrial ↔️ High birth and death rates
      Transitional ↔️ High birth rates, declining death rates
      Industrial ↔️ Declining birth rates, low death rates
      Post-industrial ↔️ Low birth and death rates
    • Arrange the stages of the Demographic Transition Model in the correct order:
      1️⃣ Pre-industrial
      2️⃣ Transitional
      3️⃣ Industrial
      4️⃣ Post-industrial
    • In the pre-industrial stage, both high birth and death rates result in slow population growth.
    • During the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.

      True
    • In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
    • Match the stage of the Demographic Transition Model with an example country:
      Pre-industrial ↔️ Least developed countries in Africa
      Transitional ↔️ Afghanistan, Nigeria
      Industrial ↔️ Brazil, China
      Post-industrial ↔️ Japan, Germany
    • Proactive government policies related to family planning and healthcare can hasten the transition through the model.
    • The Demographic Transition Model describes the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates over time
    • In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates decline.
      True
    • In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
    • In the pre-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are high, resulting in slow population growth.

      True
    • In the transitional stage, death rates begin to decline, leading to rapid population growth
    • What happens to birth rates in the industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      Birth rates decline
    • Which stage of the Demographic Transition Model is associated with high birth rates, declining death rates, and rapid population growth?
      Transitional
    • What are the birth and death rates in the post-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      Low and low
    • In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low, resulting in slow population growth.

      True
    • What does the Demographic Transition Model describe?
      Changes in birth and death rates
    • Which stage of the Demographic Transition Model is characterized by high birth rates, declining death rates, and rapid population growth?
      Transitional
    • What are the birth and death rates in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
      High and high
    • In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates begin to decline
    • In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.

      True
    • What type of population growth occurs in the post-industrial stage?
      Slow
    • What happens to population growth in the transitional stage?
      Rapid growth
    • In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.

      True
    • What is the population growth pattern in the transitional stage?
      Rapid population growth
