Question

Country X has higher birth rates and lower death rates.

Identify the stage in the theory of demographic transition at which country X lies.

• A. Developed stage
• B. Developing stage
• C. Backward stage
• D. Underdeveloped stage

Answer 1

The correct option is B Developing stage

From the theory of demographic transition, it is clear that as the growth rate of a population increases, the economic development of a country decreases. Countries with higher birth rates and lower death rates witness higher population growth. This means that the level of development in those countries is moderate.
