birth rates and death rates are decreasing so population growth starts slowing down

Detailed explanation-1: -Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) is characterized by a rapid decrease in a country’s death rate while the birth rate remains high. As such, the total population of a country in Stage 2 will rise because births outnumber deaths, not because the birth rate is rising.
Detailed explanation-2: -Demographic cycle First stage (High stationary): This stage is characterized by a high birth rate and high death rate which cancel each other and the population remains stationary.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 1-High birth and death rates lead to slow population growth. Stage 2-The death rate falls, but the birth rate remains high, leading to faster population growth. Stage 3-The birth rate starts to fall, so population growth starts to slow.
