People are concerned that developed areas of the world will be over run by refugees from less developed nations. However, there is a model that throws this whole argument out of the window, “The Demographic Transition”. this four-stage model, created in 1929 by American demographer Warren Thompson, explains how birth and death rates stablize as a nation becomes more developed and thus, discarding the theory of the world becoming too over populated.
