Question

according to the demographic transition model (dtm), which stage are some sub-saharan countries currently in, as shown in the image? stage 2: early expanding, stage 4: low stationary, stage 3: late expanding, stage 1: high stationary

Explanation:

The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) has stages. Sub - Saharan African countries typically have high birth rates and declining death rates (due to improvements in healthcare, etc.), which is characteristic of Stage 2: Early Expanding. Stage 1 has high birth and death rates, Stage 3 has declining birth rates, and Stage 4 has low birth and death rates, which do not match the demographic situation of many sub - Saharan countries.
