Cards (36)

  • The Demographic Transition Model consists of four stages.

    True
  • Match each stage of the Demographic Transition Model with its key characteristics.
    Pre-industrial ↔️ High birth and death rates
    Transitional ↔️ Declining death rates, high birth rates
    Industrial ↔️ Declining birth rates, low death rates
    Post-industrial ↔️ Low birth and death rates
  • Birth rates decline in the industrial stage due to women entering the workforce and increased contraception use.

    True
  • What type of population growth is characteristic of the pre-industrial stage?
    Slow
  • Match each factor with its role in the Demographic Transition Model.
    Socioeconomic development ↔️ Better healthcare and sanitation
    Technological advancements ↔️ Modern medicine and contraception
    Cultural shifts ↔️ Changes in family planning practices
    Government policies ↔️ Promoting women's rights
  • Government policies promoting family planning can facilitate the demographic transition.

    True
  • In the industrial stage, birth rates decline as women enter the workforce and use contraception.

    True
  • Improved healthcare in the transitional stage leads to declining death rates but high birth rates, causing rapid population growth.

    True
  • What is a common concern in the post-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
    Aging population
  • What is the Demographic Transition Model designed to describe?
    Population changes over time
  • Arrange the stages of the Demographic Transition Model in the correct order.
    1️⃣ Pre-industrial
    2️⃣ Transitional
    3️⃣ Industrial
    4️⃣ Post-industrial
  • In the transitional stage, improved healthcare and sanitation lead to declining death rates.
  • The Demographic Transition Model consists of four stages.
  • In the industrial stage, birth rates decline as women join the workforce.
  • Technological advancements such as modern medicine and contraception can reduce both death and birth rates.
  • Match each stage of the Demographic Transition Model with its key characteristics.
    Pre-industrial ↔️ High birth and death rates
    Transitional ↔️ Declining death rates, high birth rates
    Industrial ↔️ Declining birth rates, low death rates
    Post-industrial ↔️ Low birth and death rates
  • In the pre-industrial stage, both birth rates and death rates are high
  • Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model
    1️⃣ Pre-industrial
    2️⃣ Transitional
    3️⃣ Industrial
    4️⃣ Post-industrial
  • The industrial stage sees birth rates decline as women enter the workforce and contraception use increases.

    True
  • In the pre-industrial stage, high birth rates and death rates lead to minimal population growth
  • What is a key driver of declining death rates in the transitional stage?
    Improved healthcare
  • As a country develops economically and socially, it transitions through the stages of the Demographic Transition Model, leading to low population growth
  • Why are birth rates high in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
    Lack of family planning
  • What is a common concern in the post-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
    Aging population
  • Rapid population growth occurs in the transitional stage due to declining death rates and high birth rates.

    True
  • How does socioeconomic development contribute to declining death rates?
    Improved healthcare
  • What is the ultimate outcome of the Demographic Transition Model in terms of population growth?
    Low, stable growth
  • What is the Demographic Transition Model designed to describe?
    Population transitions over time
  • What happens to birth rates in the industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?
    They decline
  • In the pre-industrial stage, high birth rates are primarily due to a lack of family planning
  • Match the country with its corresponding stage in the Demographic Transition Model:
    Niger ↔️ Pre-industrial
    India ↔️ Transitional
    United States ↔️ Industrial
    Japan ↔️ Post-industrial
  • An aging population is a common concern in the post-industrial stage due to low birth and death rates.
    True
  • What type of government policies can effectively manage population growth?
    Family planning programs
  • What stabilizes population growth in the post-industrial stage?
    Low birth and death rates
  • What are two factors that contribute to declining birth rates in the industrial stage?
    Workforce entry and contraception
  • Cultural shifts, such as changing social norms, can lead to accelerated declines in birth rates
