{Early Expanding}
A
- beginning of industrial innovations
- high birth rate, low death rate
4
Q
Stage 3 of DTM
{Late Expanding}
A
- developing countries
- birth rates and death rates start to come together
5
Q
Stage 4 of DTM

6
Q
Stage 5 of DTM
{Declining}
People debate whether or not this stage exists
A
- birth rate is lower than death rate
- more elderly
7
Q
Expansive Population Pyramid
A
- base is big
- high fertility rate,
- high mortality rate, growing population
- high children, low elderly
8
Q
Stationary Pyramid
A
- low fertility and mortality
- high life expectantcy
- constant equal
9
Q
Constrictive Pyramid
A
- narrow base, high top
- high life expectancy, low mortality
- low children, high elderly
- developed
10
Q
Edipdemiologic Transition

Helps to explain causes of changing death rates.
11
Q
Stage 1 of Epidemiologic Transition
A
- infectious and parasitic diseases
- accidents and animal attacks
- natural checks on population
12
Q
Stage 2 of Epidemiologic Transition
A
- receding pandemics
- sanitation, nutrition, medicine lead to lower CDR
13
Q
Stage 3 of Epidemiologic Transition
A
- degenerative and man-made diseases
- heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity
14
Q
Stage 4 of Epidemiologic Transition
A
- delayed degenerative diseases
- extend life expectancy due to medical advances
15
