Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described process is known as demographic transition, which refers to the changes in birth and death rates that occur as countries develop economically and socially. The transition typically begins with high birth and death rates, then progresses to lower death rates followed by lower birth rates. This leads to a period of rapid population growth, which eventually stabilizes at a new and typically lower level. Zero population growth refers to a state where the birth rate equals the death rate, which may occur as a result of demographic transition but is not the same thing. Population lag and post-industrialization are not relevant to this particular process.
