What is causes of rapid growth?Show answer
Rapid growth occurs in countries in Stage 2 or early Stage 3 of the demographic transition. Death rates have fallen thanks to better healthcare, sanitation and food supply, while birth rates remain high because of limited female education, low contraceptive use, high infant mortality and cultural preferences for large families. The result is high natural increase and a youthful population, where a large share are children, creating built-in momentum for further growth as that generation reaches childbearing age.
