Which country is growing faster if one has a population growth rate of 1 percent and the other 2 percent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Country with 2 percent

Population growth rate measures the percentage change in population during a stated period. When the comparison period and definitions are the same, a rate of 2 percent represents a faster proportional increase than a rate of 1 percent. This comparison concerns the speed relative to each country's own starting population, not necessarily the number of additional people in absolute terms.

Therefore, the country with a 2 percent growth rate is growing faster, so option B is correct. A country with a larger population could add more people even at 1 percent, but that would not change which rate is faster proportionally. The question asks about growth rate, and 2 percent is greater than 1 percent.
