Guiding Question 5.3

What is the "demographic transition," and why is it important?

Why You Should Care

The truly transitional stage of the demographic transition is of great importance to the future of population growth. Although the classic pattern is for birth rates to outstrip death rates during this period, education, social programs, and careful planning can help control the potential for explosive growth and avert famine, war, and the other social ills associated with rapid population growth in developing nations.
