Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In both the preindustrial and postindustrial stages of demographic transition, the population tends to grow slowly or remain stable. In the preindustrial stage, this stability is due to high birth rates and high death rates. In the postindustrial stage, it's because of low birth rates and low death rates, reflecting changes in societal norms, economic conditions, and advancements in healthcare.
