Two countries that are on the opposite sides of the demographic transition, one being in the first faze, while the other in the fourth faze, will differ in pretty much everything.

The country in the first faze will have low economic development, bad infrastructure, the availability to the institutions will be limited to only some people. Most of the population will live in poverty, being on the verge of survival, and in very unhygienic conditions.

The country in the fourth faze will be the total opposite. It will be a highly developed country, with excellent infrastructure, the institutions are available for everyone. Most of the population will high income and be living in nice conditions.

In the country in the first faze, the birth rates will be high, but the death rates will be high as well, having a very low life expectancy too. In the country in the fourth faze, the birth rates will be very low, and the death rates will also be low, with the life expectancy being very high.
