Demographic Transition Model

What does the Demographic Transition Model show?

• Changes in population based on birth and death rates over time

• How countries trade goods across borders

• Changes in climate and weather patterns

• Migration patterns between rural and urban areas

In Stage One of the DTM, populations are:

• Growing rapidly

• Stable with high birth and death rates

• Declining due to low birth rates

• Growing slowly with better healthcare

In Stage Two, what usually causes population growth?

• More immigration

• Lower death rates from improved healthcare and food

• Fewer children being born

• Wars and conflicts increasing birth rates

Stage Three countries typically experience:

• Higher birth rates and high death rates

• Declining birth rates and longer life expectancy

• Economic collapse and migration loss

• No change in population

In Stage Four of the DTM:

• The population is growing very fast

• Birth and death rates are both low and stable

• Death rates are high again due to disease

• There are more children than adults

A country in Stage Five of the DTM most likely has:

• A) A very young population

• B) Rapid population growth

• C) A shrinking or declining population

• D) High birth and death rates

The Epidemiological Transition Model explains:

• How diseases and causes of death change as a country develops

• How people migrate for medical care

• How birth control policies spread

• The balance of trade in medicine

Anti-Natalist policies are meant to:

• Increase the number of babies born

• Decrease birth rates through family planning

• Encourage immigration

• Protect elderly populations

Pro-Natalist policies are designed to:

• Limit the number of children per family

• Encourage families to have more children

• Stop migration

• Support healthcare for the elderly only

What is the main goal of contraceptives?

• Prevent disease only

• Prevent or control pregnancy

• Help increase population

• Improve diet and health
