Demographic Transition Model
New Zealand is in stage 4 of the Demographic Transition Model which is a stage of low or stationary growth. It is categorized in this stage because it has a low birth rate, a low death rate, a low rate of natural increase, and a fertility rate of 2-3.5 babies. Even though its life expectancy is 75+ which is a stage 5 characteristic, it has four others that put it into stage 4.
