    1 - The Demographic Transition Model

    The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) describes population changes as countries develop, showing birth and death rates transitioning through 5 stages. Stage 1 has high birth and death rates. Stage 2 sees death rates decline due to improved health and sanitation while birth rates remain high. Stages 3-5 experience lower birth rates as development increases and families choose smaller sizes. Most developed countries are in later stages with falling populations, while less developed countries remain in earlier stages of high growth.

    The Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

    Crude Birth Rate: The number of live births per 1000 of the population per year. Crude Death Rate: The number of deaths per 1000 people per year. Fertility Rate: The average number of children a woman will have. Infant mortality Rate: The number of children out of every 1000 born alive that will before they reach the age of 1. Life Expectancy: The average number of years a person can expect to live. Migration Rate: The difference between the number of immigrants and emigrants per 100 (or 100,000) of the population per year.

    Most MEDCs are currently in stages 4-5, whereas most LEDCs are still in 2-3.

    The DTM shows population change over time as a country develops.

    Population Density: The average number of people wholive in 1km2.
