Demographic Project - Part 3: Classic DTM with Contemporary Projections

1) In your groups, identify the FIVE (including the fifth theoretical stage) stages found in the
Classic Demographic Transition Model, recreating the Classic Population, CDR and CBR Trends.

2) Upon finishing your chart.

Your group will need to visit
www.gapminder.org to view
the Wealth and Health Of
Nations animated chart.

3) Using the site as a guide,

your group will divide your
graph into income and
health cohorts (sections).
a) Divide the graph
horizontally, in equal
intervals into low (less than
$2000), middle ($2000 to
$20,000) and high income
(above $20,000).
b) Divide the graph
vertically into short life
expectancy (less than 40
years), medium life
expectancy (40 to 75 years)
and long life expectancy (75
years or more).

4) Once you have divided your

chart, forming income and
health groups, your group
will find each of your
Scattergories countries on
the Wealth and Health
chart at 1800, 1918, 1941
and 2012.

5) Plot your countries status on

your chart, representing
each country with a
population bubble. Once
you have recorded your
countries data onto your DTM,
you will connect the dots for each country
creating a projected trend.
