The Demographic Transition Model

High birthrate and high death rate means the total population is low

• stage 1

• stage 2

• stage 3

• stage 4

• stage 5

Natural (a)   happens when the birthrate is higher than the deathrate

Healthcare is more high tech and advanced in this stage and people are educated better about healthier diets and lifestyles.

• stage 2

• stage 3

• stage 4

• stage 5

Why would healthy lifestyles and advanced medical care reduce the deathrate?

• lower life expectancy

• birthrate increases

• higher life expectancy

• gni falls

Give two reasons why the death rate is high in stage 1

• high GNI

• Poor access to education

• Poor access and quality of healthcare and sanitation

• Good access and quality of sanitation

Natural (a)   is when the death rate is higher than the birthrate

What happened in stage 4 which started the fall of the birthrate?

• less children die at a younger age

• people live in cities with better paid jobs with more reliable pay
