Match each stage of the Demographic Transition Model on the left with its corresponding birth and death rate characteristic on the right.
- Stage 1 (High Stationary)High birth rate and high death rate, resulting in a low and fluctuating population size.
- Stage 2 (Early Expanding)High birth rate accompanied by a rapidly falling death rate, leading to high natural population growth.
- Stage 3 (Late Expanding)Falling birth rate and low death rate, leading to decelerating population growth.
- Stage 4 (Low Stationary)Low birth rate and low death rate, resulting in a stable or very slow population growth.
Answer
Stage 1 (High Stationary) pairs with high birth and high death rates; Stage 2 (Early Expanding) pairs with high birth rate and rapidly falling death rate; Stage 3 (Late Expanding) pairs with falling birth rate and low death rate; Stage 4 (Low Stationary) pairs with low birth rate and low death rate.
Each stage of the Demographic Transition Model represents a specific evolutionary phase of birth and death rates as a society undergoes economic and social development. Stage 1 pairs high births with high deaths (low growth), Stage 2 pairs high births with plummeting deaths (rapid expansion), Stage 3 pairs dropping births with low deaths (slowing expansion), and Stage 4 pairs low births with low deaths (stationary equilibrium).
