Stage 2 is a phase in the Demographic Transition Model where death rates begin to fall, while birth rates remain high, leading to a rapid increase in population.
Think of Stage 2 like a snowball rolling down a hill. At first, the snowball (population) is small. But as it rolls down (death rates fall), it picks up more and more snow (people are born), growing larger and faster.
Demographic Transition Model: A model that describes population change over time. It involves four stages - high stationary, early expanding, late expanding, and low stationary.
Birth Rate: The number of live births per thousand of population per year.
Death Rate: The number of deaths per thousand of population per year.
