The Zelinsky Model of Migration Transition, [1] also known as the Migration Transition Model or Zelinsky's Migration Transition Model, claims that the type of migration that occurs within a country depends on its development level and its society type.

[10] Croatia is in the fourth or fifth stage of the demographic transition. [11] An explanation for the population decrease in the 1990s is the Croatian War of ...

The population of the UK has undergone demographic transition—that is, the transition from a (typically) pre-industrial population, with high birth and mortality rates and slow population growth, through a stage of falling mortality and faster rates of population growth, to a stage of low birth and mortality rates with, again, lower rates of ...
The population's annual growth rate has been reduced from a 3.5% peak in 1965 to 0.99% in 2005. While Mexico is now transitioning to the third phase of demographic transition, close to 50% of the population in 2009 was 25 years old or younger. [19] Fertility rates have also decreased from 5.7 children per woman in 1976 [20] to 1.9 in 2020. [21]
Population momentum is a consequence of the demographic transition. Population momentum explains why a population will continue to grow even if the fertility rate declines or continues to decline even if the fertility rate grows. Population momentum occurs because it is not only the number of children per woman that determine population growth ...
The shift of population balance between Muslims and Christians is a result of northern and southern Nigeria being in different stages of demographic transition.
