Study the following graph carefully and answer the following questions

Question: 1

Which one of the following stages of demographic transition theory is an indicative of primitive stage?

Show Hint

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Stage I of the demographic transition theory represents the primitive stage where both birth rate (BR) and death rate (DR) are high, leading to a low natural increase in population. This stage is typically seen in less developed or pre-industrial societies.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) Stage I.

Question: 2

The highest difference between the crude birth rate and crude death rate is observed in which one of the following stages of demographic transition theory?

Show Hint

At the end of Stage I, the difference between birth and death rates is maximized due to the start of mortality decline while birth rates remain high.

  • End of stage I
  • End of the first part of stage II
  • End of the second part of stage II
  • End of stage III

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The highest difference between the crude birth rate (CBR) and crude death rate (CDR) occurs at the end of Stage I, where both rates are high, but the gap between them begins to increase. This reflects a transition from a stable population to a rapidly growing one as the death rate starts to decline while the birth rate remains high.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) End of stage I.

Question: 3

Net increase in population during third stage of demographic transition theory is low due to which one of the following reasons?

Show Hint

Stage III is marked by a decline in both birth and death rates, which leads to slower population growth compared to earlier stages.
Updated On: Jun 30, 2025
  • Low birth rate and low death rate
  • Low birth rate and high death rate
  • High birth rate and low death rate
  • High birth rate and high death rate

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

In Stage III of the demographic transition, both birth rates and death rates are low. However, the birth rate is still slightly higher than the death rate, resulting in a low net increase in population. The transition to this stage signifies a shift towards a more balanced population growth rate.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) Low birth rate and low death rate.
