Introduction of this helps a country

transition from the first to second stage of the

Demographic Transition Model

Technology/Medical care

DTM300

The stage of the Demographic Transition

Model in which a “population explosion”

occurs

Second

DTM400

The stage of the Demographic Transition

Model that applies to more developed

countries

Third

DTM500

Better job opportunities, personal freedoms, higher standard of

Where People Live200

Natural increaseThe difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths

during the year

Growth100

Doubling timeHow long it takes for the population in an area to

increase 100%

Growth 200

Zero population growthWhat a country is

experiencing when the birth rate and death rate are roughly equivalent; people are having just

enough children to “replace themselves”

Growth 300

FirstWhat level of the

Demographic Transition Model is this country in?

Growth 400

Carrying capacityThe number of people,

other living organisms, or crops that a region can

support without environmental degradation

Growth 500

An excellent example of how government

attempts to control population growth can go awry; this program has led to infanticide and gender disparity
