Global Geography 12 Ch. 7 Population Assignment 2 Demographic Transition Model

Complete the following using the attached graphs. (You may answer in point form.)

1. Draw a dashed vertical line through the graph to represent the data for 2000-2005. 2. At the current date, which stage of the DTM best represents the Birth and Death rates in each country? 3. On each graph, sketch in solid vertical lines to divide the data into stages of the DTM. (Not all stages may be shown for both countries) 4. In a paragraph, explain why you chose the divisions for each stage. (What evidence did you use?) 5. Both graphs use projections to predict future population changes. What information do you think geographers would need to predict future birth rates? Future death rates? 6. In your own words, briefly summarize the five stages of the Demographic Transition Model.
