D.T.M stage 3 Late expanding stage- death rate falls more slowly, birth rate falls quicker
D.T.M stage 4 Low fluctuating stage- birth rate continues to fall slowly, death rate is steady
D.T.M stage 5 Senile stage- low birth no death rate
Food supply Increases-health increases-people live longer-decrees death rate Decreases-health declines-population declines-famine,drought
War Population is reduced directly when soldiers and civilians die Interrupts fam life, couples separated, reduction in birth rates Disrupt daily life e.g agriculture, water supply,sanitation-affect health,death
