Discuss the three stages of demographic transition.
Answers
Answer:
First stage of high fertility and high mortality. 2. Second stage of high fertility and mortality decline. ... Third stage of both fertility and mortality decline.
Answer:
Pre-Industrial Stage
The first stage of the demographic transition is the pre-industrial stage. During this stage, the population is stable, with both high birth rates and high death rates. The death rates are high because there is increased disease, minimal medical care, poor sanitation, and limited food supplies. As a result of the high death rate, people tend to produce more offspring to try to compensate for the mortality.
Transitional Stage
Following the pre-industrial stage is the transitional stage. During this stage, the human population begins to increase due to high birth rates and declining death rates.
Industrial Stage
The third stage of the demographic transition is the industrial stage, which is characterized by an increasing population with declining birth rates and low death rates.
