What characterizes Stage II of demographic transition?
Death rate declines, birth rate remains high
Stage I: both birth and death rates are high, so population grows slowly.
Stage II: improvements in health, sanitation and food supply cause the death rate to fall sharply, while the birth rate stays high – population grows rapidly.
Later stages see the birth rate fall too (Stage III) and both rates become low (Stage IV).
So Stage II is marked by a declining death rate with a high birth rate.
Hence, Death rate declines, birth rate remains high.
