Extension: Compare the demographic transition of Sweden with
Mexico:
Which country best fits the modelCan you see any places where a country does not
fit the modelThink about starting values
Think about the time taken to progress
Use http://www.uwmc.uwc.edu/geography/demotrans/demtran.htm and examine the differences between LEDC and MEDC countries going through the Demographic Transition. Explain why the differences occur.
The rest of the website has a lot of useful information for the DTM. Add to your notes.

Infant Mortality Rate: A measure of the number of infants dying under 1 year of age, usually expressed as the number of deaths per thousand live births, per year.
Life Expectancy: The average age to which the population lives. It is expressed in years. Male and female life expectancies are often given separately.
Fertility Rate: The average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime.
Death rate: The number of deaths per thousand population per year, expressed as deaths per thousand.

Census: An official registration of the number of the people, and valuation of their estate, for the purpose of imposing taxes, and other general statistics of a country usually made once in five years. (UK census 2001, 2011 once every 10 years)
Actual Fertility Rate: The actual number of children born per woman
Population Density: This is a measure of the number of people living within a square kilometre.
Doubling time: The amount of time for a given population to double, based on the annual growth rate. To determine doubling time, divide the growth rate as a percentage into 70. i.e., a growth rate of 3.5 represents a doubling time of 20 years.
E.g. Afghanistan has a current growth rate of 4.8%, representing a doubling time of approximately 14.5 years (70/4.8=14.5).
Life Expectancy: The average age to which the population lives. It is expressed in years. Male and female life expectancies are often given separately.
