Secondary source excerpt (about 115 words): The DTM's stages are defined by birth and death rates, not by a single economic indicator. Stage 3 is characterized by declining birth rates and already-low death rates, often as urban living increases, education expands, and contraception becomes more available. Stage 2 is earlier: death rates fall, but birth rates remain high. Analysts sometimes misclassify countries by assuming that "developing" automatically means Stage 2, even when fertility has begun to decline. The DTM is a simplification and should be applied cautiously. Which set of vital-rate trends best indicates Stage 3 rather than Stage 2?
