Demographic Change in the UK

This document discusses population dynamics, specifically the demographic transition model. It begins by outlining the 5 stages of the demographic transition model: 1) high birth/death rates, 2) high birth rates and declining death rates, 3) declining birth and death rates, 4) low birth/death rates, and 5) declining population. It then provides context on factors that influence population growth such as fertility, mortality, education, economics and policy. The document concludes by presenting the UK as a case study, outlining how it progressed through the 5 stages of the demographic transition from the 1700s to 2000.
