Late expanding stage in demography is

Late expanding stage in demography is:
a- BR in low DR v. low
b- BR static DR ↓
c- BR less than DR
d- BR high Dr high

Ans: a.

In the late expanding or the third stage of the demographic cycle the birth tends to fall but the depth rate declines still further and the population continues to grow as the births exceeds deaths, e.g. India, China, Singapore, etc.

High BR and DR-(so population remains stationary) characterize the first stage or high stationary phase of demographic cycle, e.g. India before 1920 (option d).

2nd or early expanding stage: BR remains unchanged and DR begins to decline but population continues to grow as BR > DR, e.g. South Asian and African countries (option b).

4th (Low stationary) stage: low BR and DR with the result the population remains stationary, e.g. Australia, UK, Denmark, Annual growth rate of population remains zero.

5th (Declining) stage: population begins to decline as the BR is less DR, e.g. Hungary and Germany (option c).
