1) William Jones loses his job as a gravedigger.
Stage 2 because less people dying (rapidly declining death rates)
2) Diseases such as cancer and heart disease are the main cause of death.
Stage 4
3) Fewer children share a bedroom.
End of Stage 3 or 4
4) People are encouraged to emigrate to the colonies.
Stage 2
5) Grandparents are very rare.
stage 1 - high death rate - never reach that old age
Stage 1 :- Low growth
-Very high birth rate
-very high death rate
-no NIR
-hunting and gathering
-burst of pop. Growth cause of agricultural revolution
-but still in stage 1 bc food supplies=unpredictable
Stage 2 :- High growth
-Rapidly declining death rates
-very high birth rates
-very high NIR
-industrial revolution - good produce more food faster
-medical revolution - decrease death rate
Stage 3 :- Deceasing growth
-Birth rates rapidly decline
-death rates continue to decline
-moderate NIR
-have less children because they know low IMR
Stage 4 :- Low growth
-death rate and birth rate equal
-NIR=0
-zero pop. Growth (Zero Population Growth)
Further understanding,
According to Demographic transition theory suggests that populations grow along a predictable five-stage model.
