    Stage 1 populations have a very wide base indicating high birth rates, but the width drops off quickly as few people reach old age. Stage 2 populations still have high birth rates but more people now live to older ages, as seen in countries like Kenya. Stage 3 populations have a domed shape with fewer births but many living to older ages, as in Chile. Stage 4 and 5 populations have very small bases and wide tops due to low birth and death rates, representative of countries like Australia that have progressed through the demographic transition.

    Stage 1: 

    Here the base is very wide indicating a very high birth rate. The width drops off very quickly.
    This means people must be dying. Very few reach old age. Few countries are still in this stage today but
    some rainforest populations would display this pattern.

    Stage 2: Still a large base so high birth rate but also a wider and taller pyramid as more people are living
    to older ages. This is stage two of the demographic transition model and includes many countries in
    Africa such as Kenya.
    Stage 3: The pyramid has a domed shape which means many people are living to older ages as quality of
    life improves. There are also proportionately fewer births. This is stage three of the demographic
    transition model. Chile would be a good example.

    Stage 4 and 5: The pyramid has very small base due to the very low birth rates and death rates displayed
    in the wide top. This would be representative of Australia that has recently come through stage three of
    the demographic transition model.
    DTM of stages 1 to 5.
