Table A1.1 Stages of Demographic Transition
First Stage Both birth and death rates are high. On average the number of children that survive in each family is just enough to keep the population stable or very slowly growing.
Second Stage Death rates are reduced, while birth rates stay high, so that parents are typically survived by significantly more than the 2 children required to replace them. In the 18 th-20th centuries this second stage developed in industrializing countries due to the nutritional advances that followed increased agricultural productivity, and also (especially after about 1850) better medical care and sanitation.
Third Stage Birth rates start declining, but are still higher than death rates. The increased availability of contraception and improvements in female education contribute to this stage. In the third stage fertility rates are initially above replacement level, but will eventually drop to or possibly below replacement level. Population growth slows down, though it continues growing because of the number of child-bearing-age women.
Fourth Stage Birth rates and death rates equalize at a low rate. Population growth is zero – but the population is considerably larger than it was when the process began.
Fifth Stage Birth rates are lower than death rates. When the demographic transition was first conceptualized, the process was expected to stop at the Fourth Stage. In fact, however, some nations may move fairly rapidly from above- to below-replacement birth rates, passing through the fourth stage of equal birth and death rates. Population actually declines.
