Demographic Transition Model
The demographic transition of Cameroon is stage 2. The birth rate is incredibly high and the death rate seems to be declining quickly. The fertility rate is 4 children per woman, which is a higher number. Once again it comes to relation with the status, education, and contraception knowledge of the women. They are just having more and more babies and the population growth is going to be more rapid. The life expectancy is extremely low, probably due to the inadequate medical care, clean water sources, extremely laborious jobs, and famine. Cameroon is still developing and it won't be until a very long time that it will actually become developed. There are many things that need to be improved and many things that need to change in order for that change to occur.
