Answer:
Rapid population growth is a short-term phenomenon between the drop in death rate and the drop in birth rate in a population
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the demographic transition model of populations, significant population growth occurs when a country is in the middle of the transition between a rural and an urban society. Rural societies are characterized by a high fertility rate and high infant death rate. Mothers had in average over five children, not counting miscarriages or children who died before reaching adulthood. Before the 18th century, up to 7 out of 10 children before age 12. When a country is moving towards urbanization, improved standards of living, sanitation, and access to modern medicine lower infant the death rate significantly. However, large families remain common during this transition stage, before smaller families become the norm. Rapid population growth is thus experienced in between this drop in infant death rate and the drop in birth rate.
