Uk 21st

    Cards (3)

    • Within the UK, there are areas with a relatively high population density like south-east England, and areas of low population density, like north-east Scotland.
    • As with many other advanced countries (ACs) the UK's population has gone through the demographic transition model.
    • The UK's population rapidly rose between 1760 and 1880 as death rates fell due to better sanitation and food supplies whilst birth rates remained high (Stage 1). There was then slower growth up to 1940 as death rates continued to drop due to medical advances but birth rates dropped rapidly due to the use of birth control and the industrialisation of the country (Stage 3). By 1940 the UK entered stage 4, the low fluctuating stage.
