If the population of a region declines, how can its population growth be described?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Negative

Population growth compares the population at the end of a period with the population at its beginning. If the later population is smaller, the change is below zero and is called negative population growth. This describes a decline, not a doubling or a permanently positive trend. The term refers to the direction of change, whether the decline is caused by natural decrease, out-migration, or both.

Thus, if a region's population decreases, its population growth is negative. Option B is correct. Positive growth would mean that the population increased overall. A decline may occur when deaths exceed births, when more people leave than enter, or when both conditions occur together. The question asks for the sign and description of the change, so no numerical rate is required.
