Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The demographic transition view of population growth suggests that as countries develop economically, their birth rates tend to decline, often after an initial period of growth in per capita incomes. This view outlines a transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country progresses from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.
