The first and most important process that must occur before a nation can move from stage one to stage two on the demographic transition model is **industrialization**.
In stage one, populations typically have high birth and death rates due to subsistence agriculture, disease, and limited access to medical care. Industrialization leads to improvements in healthcare, sanitation, and economic conditions, which significantly reduce death rates and initiate a shift towards higher population growth, signaling a transition to stage two. This process often comes with urbanization and changes in lifestyle that further contribute to the demographic shifts.
