mark only one oval.
the availability of high - paid jobs in silicon valley
the closing of the ford plant in st. paul, minnesota
the desire of older americans to live in warmer climates

Explanation:

• Question 2: In the demographic transition model (DTM), Stage 1 has high birth and high death rates. Stage 2 has high birth rates and decreasing death rates (due to improvements in healthcare, sanitation, etc.). Stage 4 has low birth and low death rates. So, a country with a very high birth rate and a decreasing death rate is in Stage 2.
• Question 3: When populations transition from Stage 4 (low birth, low death) to Stage 5 of the DTM, fertility rates drop further and the natural increase rate (birth rate - death rate) becomes negative. Women becoming less educated and subsistence agriculture becoming common are not characteristics of the transition from Stage 4 to 5.
• Question 4: An economic pull factor attracts people to a place for economic reasons. The availability of high - paid jobs in Silicon Valley is an economic pull factor. The closing of the Ford plant is a push factor (drives people away). The desire of older Americans to live in warmer climates is a non - economic (environmental/social) factor.

Answer:

1. Stage 2
2. fertility rates drop and the natural increase rate becomes negative
3. The availability of high - paid jobs in Silicon Valley
