Question

some sub-saharan countries are currently at stage 2 of the dtm, with their birth rates around ____ per 1000. options: 10, 55, 20, 40; image of africa included

Explanation:

In the Demographic Transition Model (DTM), stage 2 is characterized by high birth rates and falling death rates. Sub - Saharan African countries in stage 2 typically have birth rates around 40 per 1000. A birth rate of 10 per 1000 is too low (more typical of later stages like stage 4 or 5), 55 per 1000 is extremely high and not typical for stage 2, and 20 per 1000 is also lower than the typical range for stage 2 in sub - Saharan Africa.

Answer:

The correct option (assuming the options are labeled as per the colored boxes: Green: 10, Blue: 55, Orange: 20, Cyan: 40) is Cyan. 40 per 1000.
