How does the concept of scale influence demographic analysis in the study of population composition within a specific urban area?
It limits the demographic variables to either age or sex, but not both, within urban spatial studies.
It determines the level of detail and scope, affecting the interpretation of spatial demographic patterns.
It exclusively focuses on international migration patterns impacting urban demographics.
It dictates the precise population numbers that can be analyzed for an urban area without any data aggregation.
Which demographic transition stage is most likely associated with high rates of urbanization due to agricultural mechanization in rural areas?
Stage four where birth and death rates are low, but urbanization has already stabilized or declined.
Stage one where both birth rates and death rates are high with little to no urban migration.
Stage two where rapid population growth occurs due to declining death rates while most still live rurally.
Stage three where birth rates begin to decline and there is movement towards cities for employment opportunities.
