•Stage 1: Low Growth
(very high C B R and C D R, very low N I R)
•Stage 2: High Growth
(high C B D, rapidly declining C D R, very high N I R)
•Stage 3: Moderate Growth
(rapidly declining C B R, moderately declining C D R, moderate N I R)
•Stage 4: Low Growth
•(very low C B R, low or slightly increasing C D R, low or negative N I R)
•There are four major population clusters:
1.East Asia
