| 9007193643 | Natural rate of population change | The rate of change in a population's size resulting from birth and death rates alone, excluding migration | 6 | |
| 9007193644 | Life Expectancy | The average number of years an individual(usually a newborn infant) can be expected to live, given current social, economic, and medical conditions. |  | 7 |
| 9007193645 | Demographic Transition | The process of change in a society's population from a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and a higher total population. (Just look on Pg. 220 and 221) | 8 | |
| 9007193646 | pre-industrial stage | The first stage of the demographic transition model, characterized by conditions that defined most of human history, birth & death rates high, population grows slowly, infant mortality high. | 9 | |
| 9007193647 | transitional stage | The second stage of the demographic transition model, which occurs during the transition from the pre-industrial stage to the industrial stage. , death rate lower, better health care, population grows fast | 10 | |
| 9007193648 | industrial stage | The third stage of the demographic transition model, characterized by falling birth rates that close the gap with falling death rates and reduce the rate of population growth | 11 | |
