Population Pyramids
The demographic transition stage of Barbados is stage 3. The birth rate and death rate is relatively low and shows signs that it will be declining fairly rapidly. The declining may be due to the encouragement of family planning, women's status boost in society, delayed marriage, and improved medical care. The rate of natural increase is beginning to decrease for Barbados as the population growth is slowing down. The life expectancy of Barbados is 10 years better that it should be at a stage of 3 and the fertility rate is very low. Barbados is well on its way to moving into stage 4, but for now its definitely at stage 3.
