- (D) In stage three of the demographic stage model, birth rates fall due to
access to contraception, resulting in smaller family sizes, increases in wages,
urbanization, a reduction in subsistence agriculture, an increase in the status
and education of women, a reduction in the value of children’s work, an
increase in parental investment in the education of children, and other social
changes. Although birth rates are declining, the population is still increasing.
The death rate continues to fall from stage two due to greater access to
health care, smaller family sizes, and lower childhood mortality rates.
Examples of countries in stage three include Mexico, the Philippines,
Indonesia, and India.
