Demographic Transition
Nigeria currently has a Crude Birth Rate of 41 and a Crude Death Rate of 16. This large gap between CBR and CDR, combined with a Rate of Natural Increase of 2.5% suggests that Nigeria is within Stage 2 Demographic Transition. This prediction is further supported by the future predictions of Nigeria's population as expressed in the 2025 and 2050 Population Pyramids. It is clear that Nigeria is within Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model.
