Guatemala is a stage 2 country in the demographic transition model. This is because the crude birth rate is very high and the crude death rate is very low. This causes a high rate of natural increase. The population will start to dramatically increase and continue to increase throughout the 3rd and 4th stages. Guatemala has a high percentage of young people in its population meaning the dependency ratio is high.
