Answer 2

Answer:

Birth Rate and Death rate are the basis of demographic transition.

Explanation:

Birth rate means the total number of births in a given area (this can be a country or a state). It is calculated as the number of people living per thousand people in a year. This gets affected by climatic conditions, education, infertility, marriage and so on.

Death rate is calculated as the number of deaths in an area per thousand people.

Death rate declines rapidly because many public health measures are taken, and medical advances have been done. So, death rate is curbed faster. Birth rate usually remains high because of people’s beliefs, values and attitudes.
