Today we reviewed information on demographic transition. We also talked about the different stages of the country or area in each demographic transition. In stage 1 the country or people are hunters and gatherers. They go out and hunt their food and are most likely nomads, always traveling. Stage 2 has the industrial revolution. In this stage the country or area has high production rate of goods which leads to more money for the people. This directly effects the transition into stage 3. Since people are starting to have more money to buy things in stage 2, people can now buy better medicine.  In stage 3 medicine is abundant and the NIR is at an all time high. Many people are living longer and now can cure sickness. In stage 4 the NIR drops to complete zero. This is because women are now more focused on joining the workforce instead of staying home and having kids while doing house chores.
