2. 2. Increased Needs: Vital necessities (food, water, energy and medical care) Lack of resources for the largest number

3. 3. Bigger Gaps: Between northern and southern countries Between southern countries who have completed their demographic transition and those who are still undergoing demographic transition

4. population pyramids graphical illustration in the form of a pyramid used to determine the overall age distribution of a population population plotted on the X-axis and age on the Y-axis Left side shows the number of males and right side shows the number of females in five-year age groups

5. Population Pyramids and Demographic Transition Stage 1: balance between birth rate and death rate, very slow increase of the population Stage 2: decline in the death rate while the birth rate remains high. Causes: improvement in food supplies and public health Stage 3: decline in the birth rate, Causes: birth control, children become an added expense for the family Stage 4: birth rate and death rate at the same level: stability of the population.
