Question

Which correctly describes the term demographic transition?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transition from high birth rates and death rates to low birth rates and death rates as a country develops.

Explanation:

Demographic transition tend to occurs when a country become more economically developed.

When a country is considered as 'undeveloped' , the amount of mortality that occurs in the country tend to be really high. Mostly due to illness ( lack of medical development to cure it) , Conflicts, and accidents due to unsafe workplace environment. To balance it out, Government tend to encouraged the couples in the nation to have more children.

As the country progress death from illness, conflict and unsafe regulations tend to be heavily reduced. This will reflected into the very low death rates in the country. As the couples in a developed nations now put more focus on self-actualization, they will become less likely to have many children. This will lead to low birth rates in that country.
