Term | Definition |

Stage 1 | Low population growth rate due to a high birth rate and a high death rate, E.g rural areas. |
Stage 2 | Rapid decrease in a country’s death rate while the birth rate remains high. Attributed to significant improvements in overall health, specifically access to paediatric care, E.g Afghanistan, Sub-Saharan Africa . |
Stage 3 | Death rates are low and birth rates decrease, usually as a result of improved economic conditions, an increase in women’s status and education, and access to contraception, E.g Mexico, Phillippines |
Stage 4 | Birth rates and death rates are both low, stabilizing total population growth. Strong economies, highly educated citizens, ample healthcare systems, the migration of people from rural communities to cities, and expanded employment opportunities for women. |
Stage 5 | Country experiences loss to the overall population as the death rate becomes higher than the birth rate, E.g Japan, Germany |
