10. DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION Model showing how population can stop growing Stage I: birth and death rate at high levels and population size is stable

11. DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION Stage 2: population explosion occurs. Death rates decline as hygiene, nutrition, and education increase, but birth rates remain high.

12. DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION Stage 3: Birth rates decrease coming close to death rates which stabilizes population size.

13. DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION Stage 4: birth rate drops below death rate so population size decreases.
