2. Introduction: What is demography ? Demography is the study of human populations. Human populations exhibit the same fundamental characteristics as populations of all other organisms do.

3. Demographic Transition : Demographic transition refers to the transition from High birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates as a country or a region developed from preindustrial to an industrial economic system.

4. Stages of demographic transition There are 5 stages Stage1 Stage2 Stage3 Stage4 Stage5

5. Stage1 : Birth rate-very high Death rate- very high Population remain low and stable Example: Rural communities of Brazil and Bangladesh

6. Stage2 : Birth rate-very high Death rate- Falling rapidly Population begins to grow slowly Example : Afghanistan

7. Stage3 : Birth rate-Falling rapidly Death rate-Falling more slowly Population growth is rapid Example: India

8. Stage4: Birth rate-Falling more slowly Date rate- Slight fall Population growth stabilizes Example : China

9. Stage5 : Birth rate-Slight fall Death rate- Stable There is a negative population increase Example : Italy and Germany

10. Factors of demographic transition: Population size The size of population is an important determinant of demand for many products. When the population is very large ,even if the country is poor there could be a sizeable market for those goods which are regarded luxuries in these countries. High population growth also implies an enormous increase in the labour supply. The problems of population explosion in the developing countries also indicate enormous scope for several industries.

11. Composition of population : It is a part of the environment. The composition of population aims at the determination of age, group and sex ascertained during a specific period of years. It provides the framework against which to interpret the health stated and behaviour of the population .

12. Growth of population : The population growth rate varies widely between nations. Although the birth rate has fallen in the developing countries, the population growth rates are still very high. Causes of growth of population include food production, improved health care services, immigration and high birth rate.

13. Conclusion: The demographic transition theory is generalise description of mortality, fertility and growth rate. The transition took place over a number of stages. It depend upon certain factors. It defers from place to place. Effects on organisation.
