Learning Objectives To find out to what extent the DTM is valid and applicable to countries in different stages of development

How does the DTM fit in with the UK’s development? Activity: Use a pencil to complete as many of the blanks as you can on the story sheet.

How does the DTM fit in with the UK’s development? STAGE 1: Pre 1760 Prior to 1760 birth rates and death rates in the UK were ................................ Most of the time BR was slightly ........................ than DR so natural increase was slow. In some years, e.g. during outbreaks of ................... or droughts, BR would fall and the population would slightly ...................................... BR was high due to the need for large families for ....................... in rural areas. Diseases and lack of medical facilities caused high death rates, especially amongst ....................

Applying the DTM We can apply countries at different levels of economic development to stages of the DTM. Complete the worksheet: Calculate the % Natural Increase for the countries listed. Use the vital rates to suggest which stage of the DTM each country has reached.

Vital rates Migration Infant mortality Life expectancy Death rate Change over time For countries at different stages of development (plus additional key words/vital rates) Population density Fertility rate Birth rate
