Crude Birth Rates

Population is one of the few things that everyone on this planet is a part of, but few have you ever wondered about. Haiti and Hungary may both start with an "H," but their populations are quite different. Population statistics include many variables such as birth and death rates, infant mortality, fertility and natural increase rate, and life expectancy. First of all, these two countries have drastically different Crude Birth Rates, or CBR for short. Crude Birth Rates are devised by how many babies are born per one thousand people in one year. The CBR in Haiti is 25.63 babies per one thousand people. That means if you were to take one thousand people, there would be roughly 26 babies born in 2016 alone. However, the Crude Birth Rate in Hungary is far smaller than that of Haiti. Hungary only has a CBR of 9.20. That is a difference of 16.43! Ironically, these numbers almost swap when you start looking at Crude Death Rates, CDR. Like Crude Birth Rates, Crude Death is the number of deaths per one thousand people in one year. Even though Haiti has a high birth rate, it has a relatively small death rate of only 8.65 per one thousand people. Hungary's is a bit higher at a Crude Death Rate of 12.80. The difference is not quite so drastic as with the CBR, only 4.24, but it is worth noting. Additionally, Haiti and Hungary have extremely different
A DTM, Demographic Transition Model, contains four stages. Stage one has low growth. It has high birth and death rates, and is associated with pre-modernized areas and times. Stage two has a very high growth rate. The number of deaths is dropping and people are having more children. Stage three is where your growth starts to decline; both the birth and death rates begin to fall. Stage four is very low growth. The NIR is just about zero because the birth and death rates are low and the almost equal each other. Haiti's DTM stage is a 3 and Hungary has a DTM of
