In this episode, we’ll explore the Demographic Transition Model (DTM), a framework that explains population changes in relation to economic development. We’ll discuss how birth and death rates fluctuate, leading to natural increases or decreases in population. We’ll also examine shifts in population composition, including changes in average age and the ratio of males to females. Finally, we’ll explore how economic advancement typically causes death rates to decline before birth rates, offering insight into the relationship between development and demographic patterns.
