5  Phase #1 – Pre Industrial  High Birth Rates  High Death Rates  Slow Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)  Usually associated with poor public health measures like lack of sanitation.  AKA – Less Developed Countries, 3 rd World Countries

6  Median Age – 18.1  Life expectancy at birth – 38.76  Total fertility Rate – 5.97 children / woman

7  Phase #2 – Transitional  High Birth Rates  Death Rates Fall (Higher Life expectancies)  Rapid Rise in the RNI  Associated with improved economic and social conditions

8  Median Age – 26.5 years  Life expectancy at birth – 67.14 years  Total Fertility Rate – 2.58 children per woman

10  Phase #4 – Industrial  Low Birth Rates  Low Death Rates  RNI is relatively flat or even in slight decline  Usually associated with highly industrialized and highly urbanized countries.

11  Median Age – 44.8  Life expectancy at birth – 82.25  Total fertility Rate – 1.21 children / woman
