Explain The Demographic Transition Model
The demographic transition model was developed to explain the changes in population. The economy is extremely affected by the level of development that each country in the world has achieved. Many of the countries that have reached stage four of the demographic transition model have a greater chance of having a successful society, rather than the countries that have achieved only stage one of this model. There are many factors that can affect the stage of development of a country and their ability to progress to the next stages. In my opinion, the willingness of the society to accept the necessary changes being made is the most important thing.
The first stage is known as high stationary. During this stage the crude birth rates (CBR) and crude …show more content…
During this stage the birth rates (CBR) has stayed consistent through stage two, however the death rates (CDR) has dramatically decreased. The decrease is due to the significant health improvements and advancements. The decreasing death rates (CDR) has also caused a population increase, due to people living longer due to the advancements in healthcare. Lastly, one thing that I have never thought about, would be sanitation. If there is a sanitation system put into place people will also have a longer life expectancy, due to a cleaner environment. Overall in stage two the total population has increased due to the steady birth rate and major decrease in death …show more content…
During this stage the birth rate falls dramatically, while the death rate decreases but is still higher than the birth rate. When a country goes into stage five, this causes the total population starts to decline over time (a few generations). The reasoning behind this is due to the economy is the driving force behind people limiting family sizes and better understanding of contraception. The high price of raising a family puts a stop to child bearing, making the elderly population higher than the youthful population. Stage five is the last stage of the DTM, but there is conversation about countries that are in stage five that do not fit the
