If the growth rate becomes negative, what will total population generally do?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decline

A negative population growth rate means that the population becomes smaller over a specified period. In demographic terms, total change depends on births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. Population can decline when deaths exceed births, when more people leave than enter, or when both conditions occur together. The word “negative” refers to a fall in the total population, not to a change in land area.

Thus, the correct result is that the population will decline, so option A is correct. It does not mean that the population will increase or automatically double. A region may still have some births during a period of negative growth; the important point is that the total losses are greater than the total gains.
