- AHigh stationary stage
- BEarly expanding stage
- CLate expanding stage
- DLow stationary stage
Explanation
In the demographic transition model, the low stationary stage (stage 4) is characterized by both low birth rates and low death rates, giving slow or stable population growth — typical of developed economies. The high stationary stage has both rates high, the early expanding stage has high births with falling deaths, and the late expanding stage has falling births. Hence both rates are low in the low stationary stage.
