Identify and describe the significance of the concept of demographic transition. What conditions are necessary for demographic transition to occur? Are there contemporary examples of states that have recently experienced this transition?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify demographic transition as the process by which societies experience falling rates of population growth and rising life expectancies as they undergo the transition from agricultural to industrial economies. Answers should also identify the necessary conditions or causes of demographic transition as a lesser need for large families in industrialized states and the growing number of women in the workforce (which reduces family size). Examples of this transition may include reference to any advanced industrialized nation, including the United States and Japan.
