Population Statistic:
Population: 2,155,784 (July 2014)
Population comparison to the world: 145
Arithmetic Density(people per sq. km: 17.1
Rate of natural increase:
Population growth Rate: 1.26%
Crude Birth Rate: 21.34 births/1,000 population (2014 est.)
Crude Death Rate: 13.32 deaths/1,000 population (2014 est.)
Top 3 causes of death:
Infant Mortality rate: 9.38 deaths/1,000 live births
Total Fertility Rate: 2.37 children born/woman (2014 est.)
Prediction: It will stay the same because the total fertility rate is a little bit more than the rate of replacement which is 2.1.
Population Age<15%: 21.6%
Population Age>%: 4.4%
Dependency Ratio: 58.6%
Median Age(total): 22.9 years
Maternal Mortality Rate: 160 deaths/100,000 live births (2010)
Contraceptive Prevalence Rate: 52.8%
Life Expectancy at birth(total): 54.06 years
Life Expectancy at birth Females: 52.32 years
Life Expectancy at Birth Males: 55.75 years
HIV/AIDS Among People Ages 15-49: 23% (2012 est.)
Migration Date
Net Migration Rate (#per 1000 people): 4.62 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2014)
3 Largest Cities/ Urban Areas: Gaborone, Franistown and Molepolole
Which stage on the DTM does it fall based on your research?
Botswana falls in Stage 3 of the Demographic Transition Model. We can tell this by looking at the birth and death rates of its population. In Stage 3 we see that it has a higher birth rate and a low death rate. This has caused the population to slightly grow, but not a lot. Botswana's birth rate is at approximately 21.34 births/1,000, while its death rate is at approximately 13.32 deaths/1,000. This leads me to believe that it falls in stage 3 of the DTM.

Population Pyramids
-In 1995 the pyramid shows are large amount of people from 0-19. This is because proper contraception was not used.
-In 2010 the base of the pyramid shrunk because more woman were becoming educated and more contraceptives was being used.
-In 2020 it is predicted that less children will be born and there will be less middle aged people.
-In 2050 the population is shown to of increased dramatically in all parts of the pyramid, possibly because of their in need of a higher population.
