    The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) describes 5 stages of population change as countries develop economically and medically. In stage 1, birth and death rates are high and population growth is slow. In stage 2, death rates decrease due to improved sanitation and medicine, while birth rates remain high, leading to rapid population growth. In stages 3 and 4, birth rates fall as well, first matching and then dropping below death rates. Stage 5 occurs as population growth stabilizes with low birth and death rates.
