What is true about a demographic transition?

Demographic transition model. The demographic transition model is a model used to explain the process of shift from high birth rates and high death rates to low birth rates and low death rates as part of the economic development of a country from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economy. It is based on an interpretation begun in 1929 by the American demographer Warren Thompson of prior observed changes, or transitions, in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the past two hundred years. The model has five stages which go from the worst situation to what's thought of as being a good one. The demographic transition model works by using the data and putting it into graph format which out lines the problems and situations the world faces and it being in graph format it is put into easily understandable format. Each country involved in the model is categorised into the five stages. As the country's grow in economic and industrial strength they go higher up the stages. For example there is stage on where the children work and do jobs such as sweeping and cleaning and washing dishes to where in stage five there are quaternary jobs. The pattern is that LEDC's are at the lower stages but the MEDC's are at the latter stages of the model. I personally believe that it isn't to affective as all it does is separate the country's and divides them up into different stages. So instead of actually altering the problem or trying to fix it, it just hides the problems that occur in the LEDC's. I don't think that it isn't that affective any where but I do believe that it works as a sort of eye opener for the stage 1 and stage 2 country's that because they are ranked lower then the higher stages, making them want to be at the same level as the higher staged country's. This then pressures the Country's economy and government to try and get to the higher ranks but without the strength of the economy it is impossible to reach such stages. I believe the model is most affective at the lower stages as though it puts pressure it also helps to reach the higher stages and other country's that are higher up in the stages obviously had to work to get to where they are situated in the model, this pressure helps as it almost forces the country's to develop economically but also industrially also. To conclude though the demographic transition model is affective at the lower stages, at the top it isn't really doing anything other than outlining the lower stage country's current position but also showing how much better they are which just belittles the LEDC's and does nothing to help.
