demographic transition model
- demographic transition model
a theory of population change over time. Seeks to explain population increases and decreases through variations in the birth rate and death rate. Based on observations of historical changes in parts of the EMDW, it is now applied more generally though with variable levels of confidence. A major criticism is its failure to take into account changes due to migration.
