Question

Which of the following statements does not justify the developing stage of the theory of demographic transition?

• A. The death rates in developing countries tend to decrease because of the availability of healthcare facilities.
• B. The facilities provided by the developing countries may not control the birth rate.
• C. The birth rate remains lower in the developing stage due to healthcare facilities.
• D. In the developing stage, higher birth rates and lower death rates result in a higher population growth.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The birth rate remains lower in the developing stage due to healthcare facilities.

At the developing stage, countries try to provide more infrastructural facilities to their people. This decreases the death rate, but may not be effective in birth control. This condition leads to higher population growth.
