A country records 600000 births and 700000 deaths. With no migration, what will the population change be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decrease of 100000

Population change from natural causes is calculated by subtracting deaths from births. Migration would normally also affect total change, but the question states that there is no migration. Therefore only the balance between births and deaths must be considered. If deaths exceed births, the result is negative, which indicates a decline rather than an increase.

The calculation is \(600000 - 700000 = -100000\). The negative sign means that 100000 more people died than were born. With no arrivals or departures to alter the total, the country's population decreases by 100000, or one lakh. Thus option B is correct. The figures should not be added, because births and deaths have opposite effects on population size.
