Theory of Demographic Transition
The theory of demographic transition explains the relationship between economic development and population growth. It suggests that as a country develops economically, its population growth rate first increases and then decreases, eventually leading to a stable population.
Stage 1 - High Stationary Phase
In the first stage of demographic transition, both birth rate and death rate are high and roughly equal to each other. This results in a low population growth rate. This stage is called the high stationary phase.
Stage 2 - Early Expanding Phase
In the second stage, death rate starts to decline due to improvements in healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition. However, birth rate remains high, resulting in a rapid increase in population size. This stage is called the early expanding phase.
Stage 3 - Late Expanding Phase
In the third stage, birth rate starts to decline due to factors such as increased education and access to family planning services. Death rate continues to decline, resulting in a slower increase in population size. This stage is called the late expanding phase.
Stage 4 - Low Stationary Phase
In the fourth and final stage, both birth rate and death rate are low and roughly equal to each other, resulting in a low population growth rate. This stage is called the low stationary phase.
Identifying the Right Statement
(i) According to the theory of demographic transition in the first stage, Birth rate is low but death rate is high.
This statement is incorrect. In the first stage, both birth rate and death rate are high and roughly equal to each other.
(ii) The difference between them is high.
This statement is also incorrect. In the first stage, the difference between birth rate and death rate is low, resulting in a low population growth rate.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) None.
