What happens to total population when transitioning to an industrial population?

"Demographic Transition" is a model that describes population change over time. It is based on an interpretation begun in 1929 by the American demographer Warren Thompson, of the observed changes, or transitions, in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the past two hundred years or so.


By "model" we mean that it is an idealized, composite picture of population change in these countries.

there are four stages of transition.

STAGE ONE is associated with pre Modern times, and is characterized by a balance between birth rates and death rates. This situation was true of all human populations up until the late 18th.C. when the balance was broken in western Europe.

Note that, in this stage, birth and death rates are both very high (30-50 per thousand). Their approximate balance results in only very slow population growth. Over much of pre-history, at least since the "Agricultural Revolution" 10,000 years ago, population growth was extremely slow. Growth rates would have been less than 0.05%, resulting in long doubling times of the order of 1-5,000 yrs

Death rates were very high at all times in this stage for a number of reasons, including:

Lack of knowledge of disease prevention and cure; The high rate of birth (even higher if one were to adjust it for women of childbearing age) could be due any or all of the factors that are associated with high fertility even today in many less developed countries. With a high death rate among children, there would be little incentive in rural societies to control fertility except in the most unbearable of circumstances.

Stage One, then, characterizes all world regions up until the 17th.C. Some demographers sum up its character as a "Malthusian stalemate".

STAGE TWO sees a rise in population caused by a decline in the death rate while the birth rate remains high, or perhaps even rises slightly. The decline in the death rate in Europe began in the late 18th.C. in northwestern Europe and spread over the next 100 years to the south end east. Data from Sweden clearly show this stage (and two other stages following it .

World today:

Demographic Indicator

Birth Rate: 36 per thousand

Total fertility rate: 4.8 births

Natural increase: 2.9% per year 1990-2000

Age structure: 43% under 15 yrs.age

STAGE THREE moves the population towards stability through a decline in the birth rate. This shift belies Malthus's belief that changes in the death rates were the primary cause of population change.

In general the decline in birth rates in developed countries began towards the end of the 19th.C. in northern Europe and followed the decline in death rates by several decades .

Demographic Indicators

Birth Rate: 9 per thousand

Total fertility rate: 1.2 births

Natural increase: -0.1% per year 1990-2000

Age structure: 14% under 15 yrs.age

THE TRANSITION IN LESS WELL DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

Mexico and Sweden illustrate the salient differences and similarities between less and more developed countries.

As do Sweden and Mauritius

These differences include:

A later (20th.C.) transition in LDCs.

A faster decline in death rates (50 yrs. vs. 150 yrs.). Death control has been imported from MDCs and applied rapidly. In most LDCs childhood mortality remains high, but 1/3 to 1/2 what it was 50 years ago. However the most rapid improvements have occurred in places in which female literacy has increased the most. Therefore, it is not simply the application of modern drugs that is responsible but, rather, behavioral changes that have improved survival (e.g. changes related to hygiene). These types of behavioral change are readily adopted because, in so far as they improve survival, they act to support traditional values that favor life over death in almost all societies.

A relatively longer lag between the decline in death rates and the decline in birth rates (death rates are lower before decline in birth rate starts). Fertility change requires a more conscious effort than mortality change and requires social and behavioral changes that conflict more with traditional values. This has been slower coming in LDCs because economic change has been delayed in many cases. The same economic pressures that existed in urban areas 100 years ago in MDCs have been slower to develop in LDCs because many, particularly in Africa, remain very rural. Hence, attitudes and values have been slower to change.

Higher maximum rates of growth in LDCs: over 3.5% growth per year at the height of Stage 2 in Mauritius and Mexico, compared to 1.3% in the same stage in Sweden. Also, therefore, age structures are far younger in LDCs. These data yield doubling times of 20 years versus 55 years.

But the greatest similarity concerns the fertility behavior of both populations (at different times) with respect to infant mortality.

Hope it helped mark as the brainlest please

Total population when transitioning to an industrial population:

  • The total population versus the industrial population, demographic transition is the one which adds the benefit to the sample population.
  • The demographic transition is used for describing about the transition rate and the fertility rate.
  • This deals with the primary mortality rates.
  • All these cases which transfers lot more agricultural driven society to the industrial based society of further growth associated with the Death and the birth rate correspondingly.
  • The total population is concerned with the birth and the death rate.
