2.5 The Demographic Transition Model

• What is the Demographic Transition Model?

  Population transition theory
• What are the birth and death rates like in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  High birth and death rates
• What happens to population growth in the industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  Slow population growth
• Order the four stages of the Demographic Transition Model.

  1️⃣ Pre-industrial

  2️⃣ Transitional

  3️⃣ Industrial

  4️⃣ Post-industrial
• What causes rapid population growth in the transitional stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  Declining death rates
• In the industrial stage, death rates remain low while birth rates begin to decline
• The pre-industrial stage is characterized by high birth rates, high death rates, and slow population growth.


  True
• What are the birth and death rates in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  High and high
• In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates decline, leading to rapid population growth.


  True
• In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low
• Order the stages of the Demographic Transition Model from earliest to latest.

  1️⃣ Pre-industrial

  2️⃣ Transitional

  3️⃣ Industrial

  4️⃣ Post-industrial
• In the pre-industrial stage, birth and death rates are both high, resulting in slow population growth.


  True
• In the transitional stage, death rates begin to decline
• In the pre-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are high
• In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
• Match the stage of the Demographic Transition Model with its key characteristic:

  Pre-industrial ↔️ High birth and death rates

  Transitional ↔️ High birth rates, declining death rates

  Industrial ↔️ Declining birth rates, low death rates

  Post-industrial ↔️ Low birth and death rates
• Arrange the stages of the Demographic Transition Model in the correct order:

  1️⃣ Pre-industrial

  2️⃣ Transitional

  3️⃣ Industrial

  4️⃣ Post-industrial
• In the pre-industrial stage, both high birth and death rates result in slow population growth.
• During the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.


  True
• In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
• Match the stage of the Demographic Transition Model with an example country:

  Pre-industrial ↔️ Least developed countries in Africa

  Transitional ↔️ Afghanistan, Nigeria

  Industrial ↔️ Brazil, China

  Post-industrial ↔️ Japan, Germany
• Proactive government policies related to family planning and healthcare can hasten the transition through the model.
• The Demographic Transition Model describes the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates over time
• In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates decline.

  True
• In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low
• In the pre-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are high, resulting in slow population growth.


  True
• In the transitional stage, death rates begin to decline, leading to rapid population growth
• What happens to birth rates in the industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  Birth rates decline
• Which stage of the Demographic Transition Model is associated with high birth rates, declining death rates, and rapid population growth?

  Transitional
• What are the birth and death rates in the post-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  Low and low
• In the post-industrial stage, both birth and death rates are low, resulting in slow population growth.


  True
• What does the Demographic Transition Model describe?

  Changes in birth and death rates
• Which stage of the Demographic Transition Model is characterized by high birth rates, declining death rates, and rapid population growth?

  Transitional
• What are the birth and death rates in the pre-industrial stage of the Demographic Transition Model?

  High and high
• In the transitional stage, birth rates remain high while death rates begin to decline
• In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.


  True
• What type of population growth occurs in the post-industrial stage?

  Slow
• What happens to population growth in the transitional stage?

  Rapid growth
• In the industrial stage, birth rates decline while death rates remain low.


  True
• What is the population growth pattern in the transitional stage?

  Rapid population growth
