• Stage 1: the combination of a high birth rate and a high death rate keeps the size of the population stable.
• Stage 2: the death rate drops ( especially in infants), while the birth rate remains high.
• Stage 3: a drop in the birth rate occurs. Parents are limiting the sizes of their family.
• Stage 4: the birth rate declines to the point where it is close to the death rate. This causes the population to level off.
