In Demographic Transition Model, Stage 3 is characterized by declining birth rates and low death rates. Population growth begins to level off.
Think of it as climbing a hill (population growth). The steep climb up represents high birth/death rates (Stage 2). When you reach near the top, the slope becomes less steep representing declining birth rates (Stage 3).
Industrialization: This refers to the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on manufacturing goods. Like moving from farming apples to making apple pies!
Urbanization: Urbanization means shifting from rural areas to urban areas or cities. It's like birds migrating from forests (rural) to city parks (urban).
Family Planning Services: These are services provided by health clinics that help people control their family size, such as providing contraception. It's like planning how many cupcakes you can bake with limited ingredients!
