Demographic Transition • “Demographic transition” is a model that describes population change over time. There are several expositions of demographic transition theory. • The theory mainly describes and analyses the transition from stable population with high mortality and high fertility to a stable population with low mortality and low fertility. • The stages of demographic transition have, however, been differently analysed by different demographers.
A commonly accepted theory defines four clear stages of population growth. The four stages are: • Stage 1: Typically seen in less developed countries where birth rates are high but a large number of people die of preventable causes leading to a stable population.
Stage 2: Death rates fall steeply as deaths from preventable causes are reduced by better food supply and improved public health, but birth rates remain high due to high fertility, poor social development and limited access to health and contraceptive services. This often leads to a spurt in population.
Stage 3: Birth rates fall but population continues to grow because there are a large number of people in the reproductive age group due to the high fertility of the previous generations. • Stage 4: Countries achieve a stable population once again with low birth and low death rates but at a higher level of social and economic development. Population is stable but higher than in stage one.
Demography Cycle • High Stationary India (1911-1920) CBR↑↑↑ CDR ↑↑↑ 2. Early Expanding India (1921-1930) CBR unchanged CDR↓ Improved services 3. Late Expanding CBR↓ CDR↓↓ India at present, China, Singapor
Low Stationary CBR ↓↓ CDR ↓↓ Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Belgium • Declining CBR ↓↓↓ CDR ↓↓ Germany, Hungary
Demography • Scientific study of Human population. • Science of dealing with study of size, composition and distribution of population. • Size – Absolute No. in a given area at a specific time period. • Composition – Age, Sex, Life experience, socio-economic variables • Distribution – Geographic, Slum, Urban, Rural, Tribal, Population density
Family Size – Total no. of children a women has borne at a point in time. • Completed Family Size – Total no. of children borne by a women during her child bearing age. • Depends on • Age at marriage • Duration of marriage • No. of living children • Reference of marriage • Desired family size • Spacing of children
Urbanization – It is the process of population concentrate and occupational diversification.
