Q. What does the first step of “Theory of Demographic Transition” indicate?
Answer: High Birth-Rate and High Death-Rate
Notes: The theory of demographic transition describes a progressive movement from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. The first stage of the demographic transition model is associated with preindustrial society. In this stage, both birth rate and death rate are high, producing a population with a relatively stable size and a slow growth rate. This stage has been called high population growth potential stage.
