1/26-1/27 Objective: Using article, PowerPoint,
interactive handout TSW learn the stages of demographic transition and apply that by analyzing population pyramids.
Hook: What is a transition? What are some transitions you have had to make in your own life? What are some transitions you will have to make in the future?
Occurs in 4 stage◦ These stages track a countries level of
development ◦ Predicts the stability, growth or decline of the
number of people in a population
3
Characteristics◦ Have high birth rates and high death rates◦ The population is stable ( not growing)◦ found in Pre-Industrial Societies
Ex: indigenous communities ( Pre-Agricultural Revolution)
Reasons◦ Lack of clean water, sanitation, medical care,
education◦ Lack of family planning (use, access or need)
Characteristics◦ Birth rate remains high◦ death rate is falling◦ Population grows steadily
Ex Yemen, Afghanistan, Laos, Swaziland, Bangladesh Reasons
◦ 2nd Agricultural Revolution◦ Industrialization begins◦ Medical care Improves (just a little bit)◦ Family planning still not widely used
Characteristics◦ Birth Rates (Natality) fall
Infant Mortality Rates Decline◦ Death Rates (Mortality) fall
However Population is still growing◦ Industrialization continues◦ Urbanization Increases
EX: Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Iraq, Libya
Reasons◦ Cultural shift- people begin to favor small families◦ Status of Women Rises
Family planning available ◦ Education
Literacy Rates increase for both women and men◦ Healthcare and Sanitation improves
(Increased standard of living)
Characteristics◦ Birth rates very low ◦ Death rates very low
Population is steady or shrinking◦ EX: Japan, Canada, China, most of Europe
Reasons◦ High standard of living◦ Healthcare and Sanitation widely available
(long life expectancy)◦ Elevated status of Women
More women in the labor force Cultural attitudes favor smaller families Education more readily accessible
