1

In stage I of the Demographic Transition Model, what characterizes the population growth?

Low birth rate and high death rate

The population growth rate slows down

The population begins to decline

The population growth rate remains the same

1

Which phase of demographic transition corresponds with rapid population growth?

Phase 4 (Low Stationary)

Phase 2 (Early Transitional)

Phase 3 (Late Transitional)

1

If birth rate is greater than death rate, what happens to the population size?

It decreases

Phase 4 (Low Stationary)

Phase 2 (Early Transitional)

1

In demographic transition, when do death rates start to decrease?

Phase 3 (Late Transitional)

Phase 2 (Early Transitional)

Phase 4 (Low Stationary)

Phase 1 (High Stationary)

1

What can cause a decrease in the birth rate in a society?

Population migration

Natural disasters

Increased education and economic prosperity

Increased food production

1

What's directly correlated with a high birth rate in a society?

Low infant mortality

High level of modern technology

Low level of income and education

Increased life expectancy

1

What is the most common reason for decreasing death rate in a society?

Increased birth rate

Advancements in healthcare and sanitation

Increased immigration

Decreased infant mortality

1

Which factor does not reduce the death rate in a society?

Better living conditions

Increase in population

Improvements in nutrition

Medical innovations

1

What does 'population density' refer to?

The number of individuals per unit area

The diversity of a population

The age spread of a population

The spread of a population across countries

1

What does 'age structure' in a population refer to?

The total number of individuals of each age

Average lifespan within a population

Ratio of working to non-working individuals

The distribution of age classes within a population

1

How can external forces like immigration impact demographic transition?

They only impact economic transition, not demographic one

They can reduce the birth rate but not change the structure

They can increase diversity, but not size or structure

They can change population size and age structure

1

What is often used to visually represent a population's age structure?

Population pyramid

Line chart

Bar graph

Pie chart
