Demographic Transition (Anthropology)

A rapid increase in a society's population with the onset of industrialization, followed by a leveling off of the growth rate due to reduced fertility.

Demographic Transition (Geography)

Theory that suggests that the industrialization of a nation leads to declines in human death rates followed by declines in birth rates

Demographic Transition (Global History)

A change in the rates of population growth. Before the transition, both birth and death rates are high, resulting in a slowly growing population; then the death rate drops but the birth rate remains high, causing a population explosion; finally the birth rate drops and the population growth slows down. This transition took place in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in North America and East Asia in the mid-twentieth, and, most recently, in Latin America and South Asia. (p. 867)

Demographic Transition (International Economics)

The change that typically takes place, as a country develops, in the birth and death rates of its population, both of which tend eventually to fall as per capita income rises.

Demographic Transition (Science)

The transition of a society from a situation with high birth and death rates to one in which birth and death rates are low. During the transition, population usually increases rapidly.

Demographic Transition (Sociology)

A stabilization of population level in industrial society once a certain level of economic prosperity has been reached. Population is thought to stabilize because of economic incentives on families to limit the number of children.
