He used industrial societies and studied them and their trends from the past 200 years. This model is a simple composite‚ or picture‚ of the population’s trends. The model is used as a generalization and may not accurately describe every country on individual cases. There are 4 stages of the

Anything prior to stage 4 exhibits high birth rates (TFR above 2.1) and also a lower quality of life. To reduce TFR and higher the quality of life the answer is obvious; push countries into stage four. If worldwide TFR wants to be lowered all countries or nearly all must be in stage four. To accomplish this‚ developing countries populations must be educated. Money must be put into the infrastructure

The demographic transition model describes how the population of a country changes over time. It gives changes in birth rates and death rates‚ and shows that countries pass through five different stages of population change (Stage one – High fluctuation‚ Stage two – Early expanding‚ Stage three – Late expanding‚ Stage four – Low fluctuating and Stage five – Decline) The demographic transition model has both strengths and weaknesses for example some strengths would include that the demographic transition
