Which of the following is a correct statement about the demographic transition model?
It is applicable only to eighteenth-century Europe.
B
It predicts the growth of population in Russia reasonably well.
с
It divides the demographic changes of a country into two stages of slow growth and high growth.
D
It supports the idea that technology can remove or extend the limits of food production.
E
It is characterized by relatively low growth rates at stage 1 and stage 4.

A is not correct because the demographic transition model has proven to be very reliable over time and that it manages to predict the population dynamics very precisely.

B is not correct because it is not just Russia's population that has been predicted well, but it is the case for most of the countries.

C is not correct because the demographic transition model has more than two stages.

D is not correct because this model doesn't predict that technology will be used to extand the limits of food production, thus it is not portrayed in a negative manner.

E is correct because stage 1 has high birthrates and high death rates, the population is still living in more primitive manner and bad conditions, and the growth is very mall, while stage 4 is the stage where the population is living in good conditions and has a high standard of living, with birthrates dropping, and the population gradually aging.

The correct statement about the demographic transition model is that it is characterized by relatively low growth rates at stage 1 and stage 4.

In demographic transition model, there are stages of growth rate. In stage 1 the two rates are balanced but relatively low. In stage 2 they diverge, making death rate lower than birth rate. In stage 3 they converge together again, so birth rate falls when compared to death rate. While in stage 4 the death and birth rates are balanced again but in lower form.

In demography, demographic transition is a known as a way or theory thag states the historical shift from high birth rates and high children death rates in areas with little technology, education etc. to low birth rates and low death rates in area with high technology.

Conclusively, we can say that option e is correct as it explain what demographic transition model is all about.
