<prompt> In a demographic cycle, Late expanding stage indicates -High birth and death ratesDecreasing DR and stationary BRDecreasing BR and decreasing DRLow DR and BR  <response>: Ans. is ci.e., Decreasing BR and decreasing DR o Late expanding stage forms the third stage of a demographic cycle.o The death rate declines more than the birth rate Birth rate also declines but to a lesser degree resulting in a net increase in Growth rate.o The population continues to grow because births exceed deaths although BR and DR decline individuallyo India is in this stage o f demographic ccle.India has entered the 3rd stage of demographic cycle i.e the Late Expanding phase - ParkThe Demographic cycle has five stages :First stageHigh stationaryHigh birth rate High death rateSecond stageEarly expandingDeath rate to decline, birth rate remains unchangedThird stageLate expandingDeath rate declines further, birth rate begins to fall.Birth exceed deaths. India has entered this phaseFourth stageLow stationaryLow birth rate and low death rateZero growth rate has been recorded in Austria.Very low growth rates almost stationary have been seen in UK, Demark, Sweden, BelgiumFifth StageDecliningBirth rate lower than death rateGermany and Hungaryo Demographic cyclic is based or Demographic gap also known as Growth rate:Demographic gapGrowth rate Crude birth rate - Crude death ratei Demographic gap starts increasing in early part of expanding stage Early Stage IIii Demographic gap is maximum in late pari of expanding stage Late Stage IFiii Demographic gap starts declining in early part of late expanding stage Early Stage IIIDemographic gap is negative in Declining Stage Stage VDemographic gap is Narrow in Stage I and Stage IV
