Preferred term

demographic transition model  

Definition

  • Demographic transition is a useful, if flawed, framework for understanding how human populations respond over time to particular types of social and economic change. Within this framework, the scale of analysis is typically that of a single country (of any size), and the key elements of population change are birth and death rates, which determine the pace at which a population grows—that is, its rate of natural increase.
