What are pull factors?
In Rostow's model, this stage follows the traditional society stage.
What are the preconditions for take-off?
What is the dependency ratio?
More Economically Developed Countries.
What does MEDC stand for?
How is the rate of total population growth calculated?
Natural hazards, rising sea levels and conflict can all result in this type of migration.
What is forced migration?
This concept explains why population growth can continue even after fertility rates decline because of a large proportion of young people.
What is population momentum?
Highly urbanised, industrialised areas, with a decrease in agricultural land.

What is a flaw to the Demographic Transition Model?
High latitude and altitude, temperature extremes, often land-locked.
This demographic indicator measures deaths before a child's first birthday.

This population measure is calculated using (CBR − CDR) × 100/1000.
What is the rate of natural increase?
This type of migrant leaves their home primarily because of environmental factors such as drought, flooding, sea-level rise, or ecological breakdown.
What is a climate migrant?
They both have five stages, and occur in a linear pattern.
What are the similarities between the Demographic Transition Model and Rostow's Stages of Growth?
Lower death rates and lower birth rates resulting in a more balanced replacement rate, increasingly urbanised with high population density.
Life expectancy, education and income.
What three factors are used in the Human Development Index?
