Which of the following features characterises Stage III of demographic transition?
Low fertility and low mortality
In the demographic transition model, Stage I has both high birth and high death rates, and Stage II sees death rates fall sharply while birth rates stay high, causing rapid population growth.
In Stage III, birth (fertility) rates also begin to decline and come down towards the already low death (mortality) rates, so the rate of population growth slows down and the population moves towards stabilisation.
Thus Stage III is marked by falling fertility together with the already low mortality, i.e. low fertility and low mortality, which is why the other options describing high mortality, rising death rates or high fertility do not fit this stage.
Hence, Stage III of demographic transition is characterised by low fertility and low mortality.
