module23REVIEW

In this module we examined the theory of the demographic transition, which states that in some countries, the process of industrialization causes a reduction in the population growth rate. Slower population growth is typical of many countries that have industrialized and become wealthier. Some nations that have slowed in population growth have not industrialized. Those countries that have industrialized typically increase their consumption of resources, with adverse impacts on the environment. Impacts can occur locally and globally. Some locations are beginning to take on the challenge of fostering industrialization and economic development in a sustainable manner.
