  • The Demographic Transition

    • The demographic transition is a model and theory describing the transition from high birth rates and death rates to low birth and death rates that occurs as part of the economic development of a country.

    • Countries in the second stage of the demographic transition (see diagram) experience a large increase in population.
  • F-groups

    • F-groups identifies maximal groups made up of "strongly transitive" and "weakly transitive" triads.
    • A weakly transitive triad is formed if the ties XY and YZ are both stronger than the tie XZ, but the tie XZ is greater than some cut-off value.

    • The demographic transition refers to the shift from high birth rates and death rates to low birth and death rates; this occurs as part of the economic development of a country.
    • Others argue that economic development is the best way to reduce population growth because economic development can spur demographic transitions that lead to reduced fertility rates.

    • This is a major age milestone that is marked by significantly different attitudes toward the person who undergoes the transition.

    • Demographic transition theory outlines five stages of change in birth and death rates to predict the growth of populations.
    • Demographic transition theory (Caldwell and Caldwell 2006) suggests that future population growth will develop along a predictable four- or five-stage model.
    • It is important to note that birth rate decline is caused also by a transition in values; not just because of the availability of contraceptives.
    • Many countries such as China, Brazil and Thailand have passed through the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) very quickly due to fast social and economic change.
    • Break down the demographic transition model/theory into five recognizable stages based on how countries reach industrialization
