The developed countries of Western Europe and North America have reached the fourth stage of the demographic transition, where high public health lowers the death rate and fertility declines due to changing norms and lifestyles, leading to a stabilized population. Some developed countries and some post-communist countries of Eastern Europe are in the fifth stage, where extremely low fertility either equals or falls below the death rate. In this activity, you will determine the correct stage of the DTM for different countries based on their birth rates, death rates, and natural increase rates, comparing them to averages for the more developed, less developed, and least developed countries. Compare first the NIR then birth rates, and finally death rates, to determine where each country should be sorted.
