Accepted Answer

The demographic transition model describes population changes over time. Stage 1 is characterized by high birth rates and high death rates, leading to slow population growth. Stage 2 sees a decline in death rates while birth rates remain high, resulting in rapid population increase. Stage 3 marks a fall in birth rates, with death rates continuing to decline or stabilize, leading to slower population growth. The final stage, Stage 4, is reached when both birth and death rates are low, resulting in stable or slowly declining population.
