1. 1/26-1/27  Objective: Using article, PowerPoint, interactive handout TSW learn the stages of demographic transition and apply that by analyzing population pyramids.  Hook: What is a transition? What are some transitions you have had to make in your own life? What are some transitions you will have to make in the future?

3. Demographic Transition  Occurs in 4 stage ◦ These stages track a countries level of development ◦ Predicts the stability, growth or decline of the number of people in a population 3

4.  Characteristics ◦ Have high birth rates and high death rates ◦ The population is stable ( not growing) ◦ found in Pre-Industrial Societies  Ex: indigenous communities ( Pre-Agricultural Revolution)  Reasons ◦ Lack of clean water, sanitation, medical care, education ◦ Lack of family planning (use, access or need)

5.  Characteristics ◦ Birth rate remains high ◦ death rate is falling ◦ Population grows steadily  Ex Yemen, Afghanistan, Laos, Swaziland, Bangladesh  Reasons ◦ 2 nd Agricultural Revolution ◦ Industrialization begins ◦ Medical care Improves (just a little bit) ◦ Family planning still not widely used

6.  Characteristics ◦ Birth Rates (Natality) fall  Infant Mortality Rates Decline ◦ Death Rates (Mortality) fall  However Population is still growing ◦ Industrialization continues ◦ Urbanization Increases  EX: Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Iraq, Libya  Reasons ◦ Cultural shift- people begin to favor small families ◦ Status of Women Rises  Family planning available ◦ Education  Literacy Rates increase for both women and men ◦ Healthcare and Sanitation improves  (Increased standard of living)

7.  Characteristics ◦ Birth rates very low ◦ Death rates very low  Population is steady or shrinking ◦ EX: Japan, Canada, China, most of Europe  Reasons ◦ High standard of living ◦ Healthcare and Sanitation widely available  (long life expectancy) ◦ Elevated status of Women  More women in the labor force  Cultural attitudes favor smaller families  Education more readily accessible
