Key Issues 2.3: Demographic Transition

The highest natural increase rates are found in countries in which stage of the demographic transition model (DTM)?

• Stage 1
• Stage 2
• Stage 3
• Stage 4

The lowest crude birth rates (CBRs) are found in countries in which stage of the DTM?

• Stage 1
• Stage 2
• Stage 3
• Stage 4

The highest CDRs are found in countries in which stage of the DTM?

• Stage 1
• Stage 2
• Stage 3
• Stage 4

Country X has a CBR of 40 and a CDR of 15. In what stage of the DTM is this country?

• Stage 1 - No growth
• Stage 2 - High growth
• Stage 3 - Moderate growth
• Stage 4 - Low growth

Country X has a CBR of 40 and a CDR of 15, while Country Y has a CBR of 20 and a CDR of 9. Which country has a higher NIR?

• Country X
• Country Y
• The rate is the same in both countries
• The rate depends on immigration

For every 1,000 babies born in Mozambique this year, nearly 150 of them will die before they reach their 1st birthday. The rate of 150 deaths per 1,000 births is known as the:

• crude death rate.
• crude birth rate.
• total fertility rate.
• infant mortality rate.

Rapidly declining CDRs are found in which stage of the DTM?

• Stage 1
• Stage 2
• Stage 3
• Stage 4

More developed countries (MDCs) moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of the DTM 200 years ago in part because of:

• the First Agricultural Revolution.
• the Industrial Revolution.
• people moving to cities.
• women choosing to enter the labor force.

The percentage of people who are too young or too old to work in a society is the:

• dependency rate.
• life expectancy rate.
• population pyramid.
• sex ratio.

The shape of a country's population pyramid is determined primarily by its:

• crude birth rate.
• crude death rate.
• dependency rate.
• demographic ratio.
