what is demographic transition
1 answer
Demographic transition refers to the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates within a particular population over a period of time. This evolution is typically observed as countries develop from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system. The concept is used in demography, sociology, anthropology, and economics to explain changes in population growth. The transition has four stages: pre-industrial, urbanizing and industrializing, mature industrial, and post-industrial.
