GeographyPopulation change and migrationASAQA Created by: BenCreated on: 17-01-13 11:22 Stage 1 - high birth rate and high death rate BR and DR fluctuate at a high level. The population remains stable but low. BR is high because of no contraception, family planning or education. BR is high because of high infant mortality - people have more children to replace others. DR is high as life expectancy is low because of poor healthcare, sanitation and diet - leading to starvation and disease. 1 of 5 Stage 2 - high birth rate and death rate falls DR falls, BR remains high. Population increases rapidly. Countiries: e.g. Nepal and Afganistan. BR still high because of little contraception e.t.c. BR remains high for labour reasons - more family members mean more money. DR falls as life expectancy incraeses due to improved sanitaion, healthcare and diet. 2 of 5 Stage 3 - birth rate falls a lot and death rate fa BR declines rapidly, DR falls slowly. Population incraeses at slower rate. Countries: e.g. Egypt BR decreases due to increased use of birth control and better education. BR drops as economy moves towards manifacturing - fewer children needed for work. BR falls due to the emancipication of women. BR sometimes falls due to government policy. 3 of 5 Stage 4 - low birth rate and low death rate BR and DR fluctuate at a low level. Population stable but high. Contries: e.g. USA BR stays low due to access to luxuries and material possessions - can't afford to have children. Fewer advantages to having children - not needed for work. 4 of 5 Stage 5 - birth rate drops below death rate BR begins to decline further than DR. DR remains stable. Population begins to decrease. Countries: e.g. MEDC's - Japan and UK. BR decreases as children are expensive to raise. BR also decreases because of dependent elderly relatives. DR remains stable as there are more elderly people so people die of old age. Ageing population. 5 of 5
