The classic 4-stage model vs the modern 5-stage version that adds population decline. Side-by-side comparison with country examples — when each stage applies and how the boundaries are drawn.

High birth + high death rates produce roughly stable, pre-industrial populations. Almost no country sits in Stage 1 today — but every modern population started here.

Death rates collapse while birth rates stay high — populations explode. Many Sub-Saharan African countries are in Stage 2 today, with median ages under 20.

Birth rates begin to fall while death rates stay low. Populations still grow but at a slowing pace. India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico are typical Stage 3 countries.

Low birth + low death rates. Slowly aging populations stabilize. The US, UK, France, Australia, and most of the developed world live in Stage 4.
