If immigration exceeds emigration in a country, what will net migration be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive

Net migration measures the balance between people entering a country and people leaving it. It can be written as net migration = immigration − emigration. When the number entering is greater than the number leaving, the difference is above zero. This means migration adds people to the country’s population, assuming the figures are measured for the same period.

Therefore, option A, positive, is correct. Negative net migration would occur if emigration exceeded immigration, while zero would occur if the two numbers were equal. Net migration is different from natural increase, which depends on births and deaths. Thus the result concerns movement across borders, not the birth rate or death rate.
