Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described in the question is known as demographic transition, which refers to the process of a country transitioning from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as it undergoes industrialization and development. This process is typically characterized by improvements in healthcare, education, and economic opportunities, which lead to increased life expectancy, decreased infant mortality, and a shift towards smaller family sizes. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of this phenomenon. Replacement fertility rate refers to the number of children a woman needs to have to replace the population, while total fertility rate is the average number of children born to each woman in a population. Zero population growth refers to a stable population size where births and deaths balance out, while population densities refer to the number of people living within a given area.
