The democratic Republic of the Congo is in stage two of the Demographic Transition Model. This is apparent through their high birth rate of 35 and low death rate of 10. Which leads to a high natural increase of 25 with a high population growth rate. The Congo also has a lower life expectancy of about 56 and currently has high fertility rates as well. All these factors show that the Congo is in stage two of the DTM.
