What is demographic transition? What are its four stages?
What will be an ideal response?
Demographic transition refers to the changing patterns of birth and death rates brought about by industrialization. The reasons for this transition are complex. It is most useful to divide the demographic transition into four stages. The preindustrial stage is characterized by high birthrates and high death rates, resulting in a population that grows slowly, if at all.The second stage, transitional, or early industrial stage, is characterized by continuing high birthrates but declining death rates. The third stage is called the industrial stage and is characterized by a continued decline in the death rate and a declining birthrate. The postindustrial stage of the demographic transition, which some demographers prefer to consider a continuation of the industrial stage, is characterized by low birthrates and low death rates, once again a roughly stable population with little growth.
