Births and deaths are equal in a country, but many people are leaving it. What may happen to total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population may decline

Population change can be understood through natural increase and net migration. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. Here births and deaths are equal, so natural increase is zero. If many more people leave the country than enter it, net migration is negative. Total population change is natural increase plus net migration; zero combined with a negative value gives a decline. Therefore, option A is correct.

The word “may” is appropriate because the exact result depends on migration numbers. If people leaving are balanced by new arrivals, population could remain stable. But under the stated condition of large out-migration without equal immigration, the population is likely to fall. Equal births and deaths do not protect total population from migration-related decline.
