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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Negative

Net migration compares the number of people entering a region with the number leaving it. It can be represented as \(\text{immigration}-\text{emigration}\). When emigration is greater than immigration, more people leave than arrive, so the result is below zero. This is called negative net migration and indicates that migration is reducing the population of the region, even though births and deaths may affect the total population separately.

Therefore, option C, negative, is correct. Net migration is zero only when arrivals and departures are equal. It is positive when immigration exceeds emigration. The term “double” does not describe the sign of a migration balance. A region with negative net migration could still experience overall population growth if natural increase is large enough, but the migration component itself is negative.
