Demographic Transition Model
15 The Demographic Transition model P234 The specific characteristics of each stage have to be learned from book
16 RAPID GROWTH LEDCs e.g. Kenya Stage 2 of DTM: Decreasing death rate, especially infant mortality. However, narrow top= still shorter life expectancy than MEDCs. Wide base= large number of dependent children high level of fertility. Continuous decrease of % of pop for each age group, especially between 0-4 and 5- 9 shows that infant mortality is still important
17 SLOW GROWTH Stage 4 of DTM e.g. USA Oblong-like structure. Narrow base: low BR Bulge between the ages of about 30 to 50: reflects economic expansion late 1950s and 1960s [baby boom] Wider top: long life expectancy [higher for women] Ageing population
18 NEGATIVE GROWTH Stage 5 of DTM, e.g. Germany Age group 0-4 less than 5-9:Declining birth rate Bulge age groups: children of immigrants after the Second World War Ageing population: high % of pop above 60, long life expectancy [higher for women]
