Post-Industrial Stage

The Post-Industrial Stage in the Demographic Transition Model describes a society where both birth and death rates are low, leading to stable or declining population sizes. In this stage, countries often have advanced economies, with a focus on services and technology rather than manufacturing. Families tend to have fewer children, prioritizing education and career opportunities. As healthcare improves and social structures change, people live longer, healthier lives. This stage reflects a shift in values, often resulting in more urban lifestyles and greater individualism compared to earlier stages of population growth.
