MEDC's & LEDC's

Quick Revise

The table shows the contrasts between MEDC’’s and LEDC’s in terms of population pyramids, population growth and stage in the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

  MEDC LEDC
Population Growth In many MEDC’s natural increase is low due to low birth rates and low death rates In LEDC’s there has been a massive population explosion due to high birth rates and lower death rates
Stage of the DTM Stage 4/5 Stage 2/3
Population Pyramids The population pyramid of an MEDC would have  a small bottom third, a larger middle and small top third The population pyramid of an LEDC would have a large bottom third which gradually decreases in size towards the top
