Demographic Transition Model

Stage 1 ➪ High CBR, High CDR, low growth rate
Stage 2 ➪ High CBR, lowering CDR, high growth rate
Stage 3 ➪ Lowering CBR, lowering CDR, lowering growth rate
Stage 4 ➪ Low CBR, low CDR, low/negative growth rate
Stage 5 ➪ Rising CBR, low CDR, stable or slowly increasing growth rate
| Pre-industrial Stage | Transitional Stage | Industrial Stage | Post-industrial Stage |
| Birth rate is high to compensate for high infant mortality rate. Less developed countries are in this stage. Women have many children and unfortunately many do not survive into adulthood. | Industrialization begins. Access to food and improved healthcare lowers death rate. | Death rate drops due to improved medicine and modernization. Mostly developed countries are in this stage. | Birth rate drops to equal zero population growth. If the birth rate falls below death rate, than population will decrease |
