A theory explaining population changes in a society over time through four stages with varying birth and death rates.
Stage 1 - High Fluctuating
High birth and death rates leading to a stable population.
Stage 2 - Early Expanding
Characterized by high birth rates, decreasing death rates, and rapid population growth.
Stage 3 - Late Expanding
Declining birth rates, low death rates, and slower population growth.
Stage 4 - Low Fluctuating
Low birth and death rates, resulting in a stable population.
Stage 5 - Declining
Very low birth rates, leading to a stable or declining population.
Factors influencing each stage
Social, economic, and technological advancements impacting birth and death rates.
Impacts on population growth
Changes in birth and death rates affecting the overall population growth rate.
Policy implications
Guidance for policymakers on resource allocation and decision-making based on demographic trends.
Pros of Using the Demographic Transition Model
Helps in understanding population changes and assists in policy formulation.
Cons of Using the Demographic Transition Model
Assumes a linear progression and overlooks cultural and social factors influencing demographics.
