Italy would be identified as being in stage 5 on the Demographic Transition Model, shown below. The birth rate is lower than the death rate. The rate of natural increase is negative and the population growth rate is small as well. The low death rate could be the result of better health care, because the number of malnourished/underweight poeple is mimiscule compared to the rest of the world. The HIV/AIDS percentage is also decreasing. A possible explaination behind the low birth rate could be the education of women increasing, keeping them from having children until later in life.
