Question

How do birthrates and death rates change as a country moves from a least developed or traditional economy to developing-nation status?

Answer 1

As a country makes the transition from a least developed economy to developing nation status the Birthrates and Death Rates will increase. Birthrates will increase due to immigration. The healthcare services generally improves when a country develops more and becomes more industrialized. It helps improve the economy which in turn gives more people the opportunity to have more children and to lead healthier lives. So the birth rates go up. Death rates will go up too due to an increase in criminal activity.
