First
Stage (High stationary):This is
characterised by a high birth rate and a high death rate which cancel each
other & the population remains stationary.
- India was in this stage till 1920.
Second Stage (Early expanding):The death rate begins to decline, while the birth rate remains unchanged.
- Many countries in South Asia and Africa are in this phase. Birth rates have increased in some of these countries possibly as a result of improved health conditions.
Third Stage (Late expanding):The death rate declines still further, and the birth rate tends to fall.
- The population continues to grow because births exceed deaths. India has entered this phase.
- In number of developing countries (e.g., China, Singapore) birth rates have declined rapidly.
- India was in this stage till 1920.
