Question

in which stage of the demographic transition model does the increase in population slow down as both birth and death rates fall more slowly? stage 1, stage 3, stage 5, stage 2

Explanation:

The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) has stages. Stage 1: high birth/death rates, stable population. Stage 2: death rate falls fast, birth rate high, population grows rapidly. Stage 3: birth rate falls (more slowly than death rate in Stage 2), death rate falls slowly, population growth slows. Stage 5: birth rate may be below death rate, population declines. So the stage with slow population growth as both rates fall slowly is Stage 3.

Answer:

Stage 3
