I believe that Ireland is in Stage 4 of the demographic transition. Ireland has a low birth rate of only 16, and a low death rate of only 6. The rate of natural increase is also low with only 1.0%. In Ireland, there is a stable population growth and it is not too rapid or slow. Ireland has a high life expectancy of 79 and has a fertility rate of 2. All of this information leads me to believe that Ireland is in State 4 of the demographic transition.
