3.8 Demographic Transition

    Cards (47)

    • The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) is used to understand how populations change over time
    • Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
      1️⃣ Pre-Industrial Phase
      2️⃣ Transitional Phase
      3️⃣ Industrial Phase
      4️⃣ Post-Industrial Phase
    • In the Pre-Industrial Phase, both birth and death rates are high.
    • In the Transitional Phase, death rates decline due to improved healthcare and sanitation
    • What type of population growth occurs in the Transitional Phase?
      Rapid
    • In the Industrial Phase, birth rates begin to decrease.
    • What characterizes the Post-Industrial Phase in terms of birth and death rates?
      Low birth and death rates
    • In the Pre-Industrial Phase, the primary societal factor is largely agriculture
    • Match the phase of the DTM with its population growth characteristic:
      Pre-Industrial Phase ↔️ Stable or slow growth
      Transitional Phase ↔️ Rapid growth
      Industrial Phase ↔️ Slow growth
      Post-Industrial Phase ↔️ Stable or declining
    • In the Post-Industrial Phase, the population growth is stable or declining.
    • What type of economy is typical in the Pre-Industrial Phase?
      Largely agricultural
    • In the Transitional Phase, population growth is rapid due to declining death
    • The Post-Industrial Phase is characterized by an aging population.
    • What happens to birth rates in the Industrial Phase?
      Begin to decrease
    • Order the stages of the DTM based on population growth rate, from highest to lowest.
      1️⃣ Transitional Phase
      2️⃣ Industrial Phase
      3️⃣ Pre-Industrial Phase
      4️⃣ Post-Industrial Phase
    • How many stages does the DTM outline?
      Four
    • In the Transitional Phase, high birth rates combine with declining death
    • What does the Demographic Transition Model describe?
      How populations change over time
    • The Pre-Industrial Phase is characterized by high birth and death rates.
    • The Pre-Industrial Phase has limited healthcare access.
    • What happens to death rates during the Transitional Phase of the DTM?
      They decline
    • The Transitional Phase is marked by rapid population growth.
    • Birth rates decrease during the Industrial Phase of the DTM.
    • What type of population growth is seen during the Industrial Phase?
      Slowing population growth
    • The Post-Industrial Phase features low birth and death rates.
    • The Post-Industrial Phase can result in a declining population.
    • Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model from earliest to latest.
      1️⃣ Pre-Industrial Phase
      2️⃣ Transitional Phase
      3️⃣ Industrial Phase
      4️⃣ Post-Industrial Phase
    • Match each stage of the DTM with its societal factors.
      Pre-Industrial ↔️ Limited healthcare, sanitation
      Transitional ↔️ Improved healthcare, sanitation
      Industrial ↔️ Advanced economy, education
      Post-Industrial ↔️ Aging population, developed healthcare
    • Arrange the stages of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) in their correct sequence:
      1️⃣ Pre-Industrial Phase
      2️⃣ Transitional Phase
      3️⃣ Industrial Phase
      4️⃣ Post-Industrial Phase
    • In the Transitional Phase of the DTM, birth rates remain high while death rates decline
    • The Industrial Phase of the DTM is characterized by decreasing birth rates and low death rates.
    • What type of population growth is observed in the Post-Industrial Phase of the DTM?
      Stable or declining
    • Match each DTM stage with its corresponding characteristics:
      Pre-Industrial ↔️ High birth and death rates, stable growth
      Transitional ↔️ High birth rates, declining death rates, rapid growth
      Industrial ↔️ Decreasing birth rates, low death rates, slow growth
      Post-Industrial ↔️ Low birth and death rates, stable or declining growth
    • Arrange the stages of the DTM in their correct sequence:
      1️⃣ Pre-Industrial Phase
      2️⃣ Transitional Phase
      3️⃣ Industrial Phase
      4️⃣ Post-Industrial Phase
    • What societal factor characterizes the Pre-Industrial Phase of the DTM?
      Limited healthcare
    • The Transitional Phase of the DTM is driven by improved sanitation and healthcare.
    • Which stage of the DTM is associated with advanced education and a slowed population growth rate?
      Industrial
    • The Post-Industrial Phase of the DTM is characterized by an aging population
    • Match each driving factor with its impact on demographic change:
      Economic Development ↔️ Shifts in family size and living standards
      Healthcare Improvements ↔️ Lower death rates during the Transitional Phase
      Education ↔️ Family planning and lower birth rates
    • Education leads to lower birth rates during the Industrial Phase of the DTM.
