Question
Answer in detail:
Discuss the problems faced by countries in stage 4 and stage 5.
Solution
Problems faced by stage 4 countries are as under:
- The death rate is very low and going down as the medical facilities have improved and pandemics like the plague, cholera, smallpox, etc., are eradicated.
- Birth rate is the same as the death rate, so population growth is minimal.
Problems face by stage 5 countries are as under:
- In this stage, the birth rate is very low, and the death rate is high. Therefore, the growth of the population is slow or negative growth of the population is seen.
- Due to a large number of old people, the death rate is high, and due to a smaller number of young people, the birth rate is low.
- Due to a large number of old people, the dependent population is high.
- Due to the less young age population, the working population is limited.
- As a result, the size of the dependent population is larger than the active population and adversely affects the country's economy.
