Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Demographic Transition theory proposes that countries pass through a consistent sequence of population patterns linked to the degree of development in the society and culminating in relatively low birthrates and death rates. The Malthusian theory focuses on the negative effects of population growth on resources and quality of life. Zero population growth is a movement to maintain a stable population size, rather than describing a specific theory of population dynamics. Population transition is not a recognized theory.
