Based off of the Population Pyramids below, the statistics to the left, and the understanding of the Demographic Transition Model; it can be inferred that Bulgaria is in Stage 5 of the Demographic Transition Model. This stage can be justified by the fact that Bulgaria's Rate of Natural Increase is -5.52 per 1,000, and Stage 5 is the only stage that will demonstrate a negative rate of natural increase. Also, the Birth Rate of 8.92 births per 1,000 people is lower than the Death Rate of 14.44 deaths per 1,000 people. Stage 5 is the only Demographic Stage that will display that type of data. Lastly, the Life Expectancy at Birth for Females is 77.93 years, Stage 5 is the only stage that will show a life expectancy above the age of 75 years.
