In the stage 1 both birth rates and ***** rates are high. The difference between the two is very less and therefore, population is stable.

In stage 1 birth rates are high due to limited educational opportunities, people feel having many **** is good. Therefore, families are big.

In stage 1, due to lack of sanitation facilities, medical facilities, spread of contagious ****, malnutrition, etc., ***** rate is high.

In stage 5 birth rates and rates are very low. Birth rates are almost equal to rates.

As a result, the population growth is almost minimal or very low or even negative in case of some countries.

In stage 5, rate is low because of improved medical facilities, eradication of contagious *** and healthy environment.

In stage 5, due to increase in awareness among the people, birth rate is low.
