1. According to the Theory of Demographic Transition the growth of population can be divided into five stages. During the first stage the population growth is small due to high birth rate and death rate. In the second stage population begins to expand rapidly due to high birth rate but a falling death rate. The third stage is the slowdown of population growth due to falling birth rate and death rate. In the fourth stage also the population growth slows down due to the low birth rate and low death rate. The fifth state is characterized by the low birth and death rate but death rate slightly exceed the birth rate and this result the population to fall. The death rate exceeds because of the number of aged people increase at the same time the death rate is low. The low death and birth rate and the overlapping of death rate over the birth rate cause the population to decline. No country has yet entered in this stage.

Answer: In the stage five of the demographic transition model, there are low birth rates and low death rates and population growth rate are negative.
