Explain the difference between the Neo-Malhusian and the Comucopian theories of population growth. What evidence supports each theory? B. Study the model of population growth shown above. Identify the birthrate pattern in Stage 3 of the Demographic Transition Model and explain the reasons for the birthrate pattern during this C. Identify the two stages of the Demographic Transition Model that most often result in zero or negative population growth and explain the reason forthe population growth pattern during these stages. D. Many geographers would agree that the Demographic Transition Model is not perfect and may not apply to all countries. Explain why this model does not apply perfectly to all countries.

Solution

The demographic transition model depicts change in population over time.

there are total 5 stages of the demographic transition model, which are:

stage 1: here the total population is low but balanced due to high birth and death rates.

stage 2: in this stage the death rate reduces and total population rises due to improved healthcare sector or policies and sanitaion. but the birth rate remains high.

stage 3: the natural increase in total population is high, the gap between birth rate and death rate reduces due to incresed use of contraception and reduced child labour.

stage 4: low birth rate and a low death rate.,use of contraception and a desire for smaller families, whichresulted in high yet balanced total population.

stage 5: Total population is high but declining due to large proportion of elderly population. There is a continued desire for smaller families, with people opting to have children later in life.

less economically developed countries cones under stage2 and 3, whereas more economically developed countries are eg of stage 4. japan and germany entered stage5.

Limitations of the model

Difference between NeoMalthusian and Cornucopian

NeoMalthusian	Cornucopian
believe that infinite growth is not possible, suggesting that limits are imposed by the environment	believe that infinite growth is definitely possible
population explosion associated with resource depletion	its main principle is continuous development of technologies around the globe and their application thereof
more population demands more resources,but in reality the resources are limited in comparision to exploding growth of poplation	it sees population growth positively as more population produces more ideas.
