Demographic Transition Model: This model is based on the theory that all states transition through 5 stages that are based on markers including birth rate, death rate, and natural increase of population. The more industrialized and developed a state is, the later the stage it enters. Epidemiologic Transition Model: Linked to the DTM, in each stage there are different diseases that affect the population.

This is related to living conditions, access to health care, and life expectancy. For example, a population within an earlier stage is less industrialized and will experience diseases such as cholera, which can contaminate water sources. However, a population in a later stage will live longer and therefore experience diseases such as Alzheimer's. For example, most migrants tend to travel short distances and migrate in steps.

Most migrants are male and single young adults. Zelinsky Model of Migration Transition: The DTM does not reflect migration patterns, so Zelinsky developed this model to describe the types of migrations that occurs within a country depending on which demographic stage that country is in. For example, in a newly industrialized country in stage 2, the most common migration is rural to urban. However, a later stage country would experience more movement from urban to suburban.

Malthusian Theory of Population Growth: In the 18th century, Thomas Malthus theorized that population growth is exponential and will always continue to grow, but food production increases at a linear rate. That means that at some point, there are more people than available food, which means a check on the population growth will happen. These checks include war and famine. Malthus argued that these events that cause widespread death are essentially good because they limit population growth.
