Cameroon is a country in stage 2 of the demographic transition model because it has experienced tremendous population growth. In stage 2, there is a lot of babies being born, and there is not as many deaths because of medical advances. In Cameroon, there is a population growth of 2.58% in Cameroon, which is much higher when compared to the other countries in this project. Cameroon also has a high birth rate of 35.8 children per 1000 people, and Cameroon has a low death rate of 9.8 people per 1000 people. The demographic transition model graphs below show that in the past and future, Cameroon has and will have a high crude birth rate and a low death rate. This is why Cameroon is in stage 2 of the demographic transition model.
For my activity chart on Cameroon, I chose the crude birth rate as the y-axis and crude death rate as the x-axis. I did this because, since Cameroon is the least developed country, I wanted to see how high and low the crude birth rates were. Cameroon started on stage 1 with high crude birth and death rates. In stage 2, the death rates decreased and the birth rates remained high. Today, Cameroon is close to stage 3, but it is not quite there yet.
