Countries that have completed or nearly completed the demographic transition have experienced the epidemiological transition and industrialization over 100 years ago. The demographic transition is a model that describes the changes in population growth rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system. The first stage is characterized by high birth and death rates, while the final stage is characterized by low birth and death rates. Countries that have completed the demographic transition have typically gone through a period of rapid industrialization, improved healthcare, and urbanization, resulting in lower mortality rates and decreased fertility rates.
