4. Demographic Transition - Stage 2 F As medical technology is introduced, a population lives longer as the death rate is lower from the rates of stage one. F Crude Birth Rate: High 40+ / 1,000 F Crude Death Rate: Lower 15 / 1,000 F Natural Increase Rate: Very High 25+/1,000

6. Demographic Transition - Stage 3 F As the wealth and education of a country increases, social norms, and use of contraception dictate the birth of fewer children per woman. F Crude Birth Rate: Lower 20 / 1,000 F Crude Death Rate: Low 10 / 1,000 F Natural Increase Rate: Low 10 / 1000

8. Demographic Transition - Stage 4 F As the final stage in the transition of population characteristics, the fourth stage sees the population increase rate again at 0. This stage reflects a highly industrialized, educated society. F Crude Birth Rate: Low 10 / 1,000 F Crude Death Rate: Low 10 / 1,000 F Natural Increase Rate: None 0 / 1,000
