Population and Demographic Transition Model
Mozambique is in stage one. Stage 1 is characterized by both high birth rate and death rates - however population growth is small. Mozambique has limited birth control, high infant mortality rate encourages the birth of more children, and children are seen as a future source of income, therefore it would be more economically beneficial to have more kids.
Mozambique's death rate is high due to high incidence of disease, poor nutrition and famine, and poor levels of hygene. |
