For shame – using the R word. It’s an empirical question; and I believe there are no examples of demographic transition without access to several fertility control technologies such as several methods of contraception (and usually a widespread use of abortion too).

Widespread unstigmatized access to affordable C. is necessary tp the D. transition – the only unsettled question is whether C. is also sufficient.
