Solution
Population growth is high in the first stage of demographic transition.
Explanation:
- In the first stage of demographic transition, both birth rate and death rate are very high.
- Since deaths cancel out births, population growth remains very low or stagnant, not high.
- Therefore, the statement “Population growth is high in the first stage” is false.
