A

Distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition
Stages:
1.Pestilence and Famine (high CDR)
2. Receding Pandemics (rapid decline of CDR)
3. Degenerative diseases (moderately decline CDR)
4. Delayed degenerative diseases (low, but increasing CDR)
5. Possible: evolution/poverty

18

Q

Migration Transition
