What is crude birth rate ?

• The number of live births per year per 1,000 people.

• The number of deaths per year per 1,000 people.

• A figure indicating how long, on average, a person may be expected to live

• The average number of children born to a woman during her childbearing years

What is the Demographic Transition Model

• population with a high birth rate and low life expectancy

• change in a population from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates

• The percentage of children who die before their first birthday within a particular area or country.

• The process of change in the distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition

What is stage one of demographic transition?

• Very low birth rates and produce virtually no long-term natural increase, and possibly a decrease.

• Birth rates rapidly decline, death rates continue to decline, and NIR begins to moderate.

• Rapidly declining death rates combined with very high birth rates produce a very high natural increase.

• Very high and birth and death rates produce virtually no long term natural increase

what is stage three of demographic transition?

• Birth rates rapidly decline, death rates continue to decline, and NIR begins to moderate.

• Rapidly declining death rates combined with very high birth rates produce a very high natural increase.

• Very high and birth and death rates produce virtually no long term natural increase.

• Very low birth rates and produce virtually no long-term natural increase, and possibly a decrease.

Europe and North America entered stage 2 of the demographic transition as a result of

• the scientific revolution

• the computer revolution

• the industrial revolution

• the agricultural revolution

Judging by the demographic patterns of recent years, we can surmise that the principal reason for declining natural increase rates in less developed countries today is

• declining crude death rates

• increasing crude birth rates

• declining birth rates

• increasing death rates

Africa, Asia, and Latin America entered stage 2 of the demographic transition as a result of

• medical revolution

• scientific revolution

• agricultural revolution

• industrial revolution

Stages 1 and 4 of the Demographic Transition are similar in that

• both have low death rates

• both have low life expectancies

• both have low growth rates

• both have high dependency ratios

Rapidly declining crude death rates are found in which stage of the demographic transition?

• stage 1

• stage 2

• stage 3

• stage 4

Thomas Malthus's Theory states that the population is growing faster than the food supply

• True

• False
