The correct criticism of the demographic transition model is: "It does not take into account the effects of migration on population growth." This is because the demographic transition model primarily focuses on changes in birth and death rates within a country or region, without considering the impact of migration. However, migration can have a significant influence on population growth as large movements of people can lead to changes in the overall population size and composition.
