Why is percentage growth useful in the study of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It makes comparison between populations of different sizes easier

Percentage growth expresses the change in relation to the starting population. This is useful because absolute numbers can give a misleading impression when populations have very different sizes. An increase of one million may be small for a very large country but enormous for a small one. Percentages place the change on a comparable scale.

Therefore, option A is correct. Percentage growth is calculated as change divided by the initial population, multiplied by 100. It can help compare countries or regions fairly, although the time period and data quality must also be considered. It does not give the area, measure only deaths, or eliminate migration; those statements confuse different population concepts.
