Which countries best represent Stage 4 of demographic transition?
Countries that have undergone their industrial revolution and have adequate public
health and education infrastructure such as Japan, the United States, and the
United
Kingdom are in Stage 4 of demographic transition.
Group 2: Globalization of Religion
What stage is the Philippines in the demographic transition? why?
The Philippines, like most of Asia, entered this stage in the 1960s. The third
stage
occurs when economic and social gains combine with lower infant mortality rates to
reduce
the desire for large families. Birth rates slow to again achieve equilibrium with
mortality rates,
but at much lower levels.
Group :
What will happen if the population in the world will continue increased in the
future and how this can resolve?
Many possible can be happen by increasing population is the resources will come to
shortage like the food and
needs. Also more damage in the environment resulting more polution resulting more
climate change.
Even war can be happen because of land teritory occupation when other contries need
to come up for
solution for their resources. This can possible resolve by having good governance
and quality education
when to control the rapid increased of birth rate.

What is the other purpose of global demography?
Demography is useful for governments and private businesses as a means of analyzing
and predicting social, cultural, and economic trends related to population.
Group :
What is the effect of globalization to demography?
Globalization has direct effects on demographic processes. Those include movements
of people within and across national
borders, health and fertility outcomes, and changes in age structure.
Group :
Which data source is most useful for demography?
Demographers gather data mainly through government censuses and government
registries of births and deaths
but it depends on the precision of government records. Demographers also gather
data indirectly through
surveying smaller groups within a population. These samples are then examined using
statistical models
to draw conclusions about the whole population.
Global Demography
Demographers seek to understand population dynamics by investigating three main
demographic processes: birth, migration, and aging (including death).
All three of these processes contribute to changes in populations, including how
people inhabit the earth, form nations and societies, and develop culture.
While it is widely known that demographers analyze populations, they can also draw
conclusions about individuals within the population.
The 4 stages of the Global demographic transition model
Stage 1.
No country as a whole at present retains the characteristics of stage 1. However,
it applies only to the
most remote societies on earth such as the isolated tribes in Amazon with little or
no contact with the
outside [Link] human populations are believed to have had this stage until the
late 18th century,
when many countries in Western Europe were able to cross this stage.
Stage 2.
there are number of countries that remain in Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition
for a variety of social and economic
reasons including poorest developing countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bolivia,
sub-Saharan countries such as Niger,
Uganda and middle east countries like Yemen, Palestinian Territories.
Stage 3.
Most developing countries that have registered significant social and economic
advances are in stage 3, such as Mexico, Colombia,
Philippines, Indonesia etc. Stage 3 occurs in this countries because its economic
and social gains combine with lower infant
mortality rates reduce the desire for large families. Birth rates slow to again
achieve equilibrium with mortality rates, but at much lower levels.
Stage 4.
Birth control is widely available and there is a desire for smaller families.
Countries such as United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, most of
Europe, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Trinidad Singapore and
newly industrialized countries such as South Korea and Taiwan have just entered
stage 4
As populations move through the stages of the model, the gap between birth rate and
death rate first widens, then narrows. So in conclusion
In stage 1 the two rates are balanced. In stage 2 they diverge, as the death rate
falls relative to the birth rate.
In stage 3 they converge again, as the birth rate falls relative to the death rate.
Finally in stage 4 the death and birth rates are balanced again but at a much lower
level.
