Ademographic transition model is used to describe the relationship between the population of an area and the
economy. as early as the 1920's, it was observed that it was observed that in countries with high standards of living, the
population grew at a slow rate, while in countries with low standards of living, the population grew more rapidly. this
observation resulted in the concept of demographic transition, which is a series of stages that a country goes through while
changing from a non-industrial to an industrial country.
