Stages of Demographic Transition Theory
The first stage of demographic transition theory has high fertility and
high mortality because people reproduce more to compensate for the
deaths due to epidemics and variable food supply. The population growth
is slow and most of the people are engaged in agriculture, where large
families are an asset. Life expectancy is low, people are mostly illiterate
and have low levels of technology. Two hundred years ago, all the countries
of the world were in this stage.
Fertility remains high in the beginning of second stage but it declines
with time. This is accompanied by reduced mortality rate. Improvements
in sanitation and health conditions lead to decline in mortality. Because of
this gap, the net addition to population is high.
In the last stage, both fertility and mortality decline considerably. The
population is either stable or grows slowly. The population becomes
urbanized, literate and has high technical know-how and deliberately
controls the family size.
This shows that human beings are extremely flexible and are able to
adjust their fertility.
In the present day, different countries are at different stages of
demographic transition.

SECTION B
Questions number 18 and 19 are Source-based Questions. 2 3=6
18. Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow : 3 1=3
Services
Services occur at many different levels. Some are geared to industry,
some to people, and some to both industry and people, e.g., the transport
systems. Services, such as grocery shops and laundries are more common
and widespread than high-order services or more specialized ones like
those of accountants, consultants and physicians. Services are provided to
individual consumers who can afford to pay for them. For example, the
gardener, the launderers and the barber do primarily physical labour.
Teachers, lawyers, physicians, musicians and others perform mental
labour.
Many services have now been regulated. Making and maintaining
highways and bridges, maintaining fire fighting departments and
supplying or supervising education and customer care are among the
important services most often supervised or performed by governments or
companies. State and Union legislation have established corporations to
supervise and control the marketing of such services as transport,
telecommunication, energy and water supply. Professional services are
primarily health care, engineering, law and management. The location of
recreational and entertainment services depends on the market.
