The correct sequence of the phases of the demographic cycle is High stationary Early expanding → Late expanding → Low stationary → Declining.
India is currently in the “late expanding” stage which is the third stage in the demographic cycle where
Declining death rates and declining birth rates are seen.
Another important concept of the demographic cycle is the demographic gap which is the difference between birth rate and death rate. The demographic gap is maximum in the early-expanding phase, characterized by a high birth rate and low death rate. As the demography of the country transitions to the late-expanding phase, both birth rate and death rate falls causing a decreasing demographic gap. Although the birth rate is falling in the late-expanding phase, it is still higher than the death rate, which causes the population to increase.
