- The graph illustrates demographic transition stages, showing declining birth rates (black line) and rising life expectancy (red line) over time.
- Stage 1: High birth and death rates result in a stable, youthful population pyramid.
- Stage 2: Death rates drop sharply while birth rates remain high, causing rapid population growth and a broad-based pyramid.
- Stage 3: Birth rates begin to decline, slowing population growth; the pyramid starts to widen in the middle.
- Stage 4: Birth and death rates are low and balanced, leading to a stable, aging population with a rectangular pyramid.
- Stage 5: Birth rates fall below death rates, causing population decline and an inverted pyramid shape.
