The Bahamas is an example of a country that is still developing but is not that far behind, the Bahamas in the stage 3 section of the Demographic Transition Model and is slowly going towards stage 4. They are in stage 3 became of their high birth rate and a low death rate which because of course its education and health system, for it to have a high birth rate and a low death rate it would have to have a not so good education system but good health care. This results in them have and younger population which is backed up by the results in my population pyramid below.
