Demographic Transitions

Create a demographic and environmental timeline for one industrialized country, excluding the United States. The following are a few suggested industrialized nations:

• Canada
• England
• Germany
• Russia
• Italy

You can download the Demographic and Environmental Timeline—United States of America to review an example of such a timeline.

Include the following points in your timeline in order to examine the advantages and drawbacks of demographic transition in your selected country:

• Major historical changes that caused the shift from one stage to another (if available).
• Changing population size through time (increasing or decreasing).
• Increase or decrease of birth and death rates through time—particularly when considering the process of industrialization.
• Environmental impact of this transition.
• Dates (if available), series of events, and scholarly references for these items.

Support your timeline with appropriate examples and a minimum of three credible resources.

Present your timeline in a media that best displays the information you researched. This can be in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft PowerPoint.
