Which of the following countries falls under the last stage of demographic transition?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Japan
In the last stage of demographic transition, both fertility and mortality decline considerably. The population is either stable or grows slowly; people are urbanised and literate, have high technical know-how and deliberately keep their families small. The diagram of the theory gives Japan, the USA and Canada as world examples of this stage.
