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.
