demographic transition theory became the dominant theory of population growth. Based on observed trends in Western European societies‚ it argues that populations go through three stages in their transition to a modern pattern.

In Stage Two (the stage of transition)‚ mortality rates begin to decline‚ and the population grows at a rapid pace. By the end of this stage‚ fertility has
