Question
Answer in detail:
In the first and fifth stages of the demographic transition, population growth is almost nil. What is the difference between the two stages then?
Solution
- In stage 1, both birth rates and death rates are high. The difference between the two is much less, so the population is stable.
- In stage 1, birth rates are high due to limited educational opportunities, people feel having many children is good. Therefore, families are big.
- In stage 1, the death rate is high due to the lack of sanitation facilities, medical facilities, the spread of contagious diseases, malnutrition, etc.
- In stage 5, birth rates and death rates are very low. Birth rates are almost equal to death rates.
- As a result, the population growth is almost minimal or very low or even negative in the case of some countries.
- In stage 5, the death rate is low because of improved medical facilities, eradication of contagious diseases, and a healthy environment.
- In stage 5, the birth rate is low due to increased awareness among the people.
