Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
Madagascar is in the Stage 4 due to the fact that the birth rate is low, but not too low. The death rate is significantly lower than the birth rate. Since Italy fits all the Stage 4 "requirements," it is in Stage 4 close to Stage 3. One may consider Stage 3 because of the average Fertility Rate.
