Demographic Transition Model
By applying the demographic transition model, I would assume that Latvia would be included into stage 5. Latvia has a birth rate that is lower than the death rate, which demonstrates a negative rate of natural increase. Also, Latvia has a total fertility rate that is lower than two. All these characteristics Latvia has demonstrates that it belongs in stage five of the demographic transition model.
