people in every 1000 who die each year. natural increase is difference
between birth and death rate expressed as percentage birth rate - death
rate /10

Stage 3: Birth rate fall rapidly death rate continue to fall many Nic's in stage japan increased access in contracepption lower infant mortality
Stage 4: Both birth and death rate remain low fluctuating with baby booms and epidemic of illnesses and diseases HIC USA
Stage 5: Death rate higher than birht rate natural decrease such as Germany
