As per this theory there are 3 stages in demographic transition.
Stage 1: Nation is an agrarian economy. Birth rates and Death rates are high.Population unstable.
Sage 2: Death rates are low due to better hygiene, nutrition and medical sector. Birth rates high due to lack of awareness an unmet contraception, poor social development, high fertility and wanted fertility rate/TFR.
Stage 3: BR and DR low but population still uncontrolled due to high reproductive age people.
Stage 4: BR and DR low and country economically and socially developed as is seen in West and European countries.
INDIA is currently in 3rd stage.To achieve the demographic dividend demographic transition is necessary for which reduced TFR, IMR & MMR, Education and Social awareness required.
