2. Introduction:
What is demography ?
Demography is the study of human populations.
Human populations exhibit the same fundamental
characteristics as populations of all other organisms
do.

3. Demographic Transition :
Demographic transition refers to the transition from High birth
and death rates to lower birth and death rates as a country or
a region developed from preindustrial to an industrial
economic system.

4. Stages of demographic transition
There are 5 stages
 Stage1
 Stage2
 Stage3
 Stage4
 Stage5

5.  Stage1:
• Birth rate-very high
• Death rate- very high
• Population remain low and stable
• Example: Rural communities of
Brazil and Bangladesh

6.  Stage2:
• Birth rate-very high
• Death rate- Falling rapidly
• Population begins to grow slowly
• Example : Afghanistan

7.  Stage3:
• Birth rate-Falling rapidly
• Death rate-Falling more slowly
• Population growth is rapid
• Example: India

8.  Stage4:
• Birth rate-Falling more slowly
• Date rate- Slight fall
• Population growth stabilizes
• Example : China

9.  Stage5:
• Birth rate-Slight fall
• Death rate- Stable
• There is a negative population
increase
• Example : Italy and Germany

10. Factors of demographic transition:
 Population size
 The size of population is an important determinant of demand for
many products.
 When the population is very large ,even if the country is poor
there could be a sizeable market for those goods which are
regarded luxuries in these countries.
 High population growth also implies an enormous increase in the
labour supply.
 The problems of population explosion in the developing
countries also indicate enormous scope for several industries.

11. Composition of population :
• It is a part of the environment.
• The composition of population aims at the determination of
age, group and sex ascertained during a specific period of
years.
• It provides the framework against which to interpret the health
stated and behaviour of the population.

12. Growth of population :
• The population growth rate varies widely between nations.
• Although the birth rate has fallen in the developing
countries, the population growth rates are still very high.
• Causes of growth of population include food production,
improved health care services, immigration and high birth
rate.

13. Conclusion:
The demographic transition theory is generalise description of
mortality, fertility and growth rate.
The transition took place over a number of stages.
It depend upon certain factors.
It defers from place to place.
Effects on organisation.
