If births exceed deaths in a region and migration is ignored, what will natural increase be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive

Natural increase measures population change produced by births and deaths alone. Its formula is \(\text{natural increase} = \text{births} - \text{deaths}\). Since births are greater than deaths in this case, the difference is above zero. Ignoring migration is important because migration belongs to overall population change but not to natural increase.

Therefore, option B, positive, is correct. Natural increase would be zero only if births equalled deaths, and it would be negative if deaths exceeded births. The exact numerical rate cannot be calculated without figures, but its direction is clear from the comparison given.
